In collaboration with colleagues from around Ontario and OMAFRA, I am pursuing a project reviewing the impacts of precarious employment on the social, emotional and physical health of rural communities in Ontario. This presentation will share what is known about precarious employment as a rural trend through the project's findings to date. This project's outcomes will be useful in crafting rural policy and programs, mitigating the negative impact of precarious employment trends and better understanding holistic community health.
