These people, and their dependants, may be threatened by poverty in addition to loss of self-esteem and contact with working life. At the same time, many others are not even trying to find a job, discouraged by high unemployment or by the undesirable side effects of some of the policies intended to deal with it. But getting a job and keeping it does not solve all problems. There is increasing concern about precarious jobs and in-work poverty in some countries. Introduction
