Abstract

The biography we introduce to the reading audience has been chosen by the editors, as far as it serves as a bright example of precarious employment of a 27-year-old woman with higher economic education. In publication we give her a fictional name Ekaterina. Our heroine lives in a big industrial Russian city and works informally - without a labour contract - in a cleaning company. 
Keywords:
precarious labour, precarious employment, gender, femininity
