The short paper stands apart from the main stream of the LPC’s work on low-paid employment, but offers insights into different kinds of work. This note draws principally on conversations held with individuals working in the following sectors: food delivery, private hire, parcel delivery, nannying and yoga teaching. We found it a useful exercise to speak to these individuals, and we hope this report will be of interest to other parties we engage with.
