When we count the unemployment rate in a country, do we count contract, part-time, or on-call employment? They are kind of unemployment. Because they don't have regular work, they don't get paid well enough to survive, they don't get other benefits, and employers can kick them out anytime.
Sometimes part-time employee works full-time. This way, the employer doesn't need to give other benefits like a full-time employee. The same goes for contract employment. Sometimes, they work full-time and regularly for years, but they are still not permanent employees and don't get full benefits like them.
In Ontario, employees must get overtime after 44 hours a week. But in many cases, they don't; some get after 49 hours, etc.
The government should take care of these problems; otherwise, in a country like Canada, employed people won't get their rights, and they won't have the good life that they are supposed to have.
