"Precarious work is not a gender issue, although it can be particularly high amongst women, and any view that tries to reduce it to a gender issue is simplistic.
As I have already argued on several other occasions, inflexible models of labour law are proven to have failed. The example of the United States shows that flexibility is not synonymous with insecurity, but rather with a dynamic job market.. More flexibility does not mean more precariousness; far from it, in fact.
Following the crisis, we will realise that the models that we were accustomed to have failed and that if we really want to create jobs, the labour market will have to start looking at atypical contracts, whether they relate to part-time work, casual or temporary shift work, working from home, or telecommuting, as normal ways of working, without losing in security what we will gain in dynamism and flexibility. In this way, I believe that women may be the main beneficiaries of more flexible systems, whereby the combination of their professional and family lives or motherhood does not take as much of a toll as it did in more traditional forms of work."@en1
