abstract: 'BackgroundToday''s labor market has changed over time, shifting from
mostly full-time, secured, and standard employment relationships to
mostly entrepreneurial and precarious working arrangements. Thus,
self-employment (SE) has been growing rapidly in recent decades due to
globalization, automation, technological advances, and the recent rise
of the `gig'' economy, among other factors. Accordingly, more than 60\%
of workers worldwide are non-standard and precarious. This precarity
profoundly impacts workers'' health and well-being, undermining the
comprehensiveness of social security systems. This study aims to examine
the experiences of self-employed (SE''d) workers on how they are
protected with available social security systems following illness,
injury, and income reduction or loss.MethodsDrawing on in-depth
interviews with 24 solo SE''d people in Ontario (January - July 2021),
thematic analysis was conducted based on participants'' narratives of
experiences with available security systems following illness or injury.
The dataset was analyzed using NVIVO qualitative software to elicit
narratives and themes.FindingsThree major themes emerged through the
narrative analysis: (i) policy-practice (mis)matching, (ii) compromise
for a decent life, and (iii) equity in work and
benefits.ConclusionsMeagre government-provided formal supports may
adversely impact the health and wellbeing of self-employed workers. This
study points to ways that statutory social protection programs should be
decoupled from benefits provided by employers. Instead, government can
introduce a comprehensive program that may compensate or protect
low-income individuals irrespective of employment status.'
