The article aims to identify the scale and trend of precarious standard and nonstandard employment in Slovenia during the economic recession and later economic recovery. The terms (non)standard, precarious and informal work are unclearly defined in the literature and thus we first provide a theoretical outline. Then we analyse the composition of the workforce during the period 2005-2019, as shown by statistical analysis of longitudinal microdata from the Labour Force Survey (SURS). Our conclusion is that the segment of precarious work exists within standard and nonstandard employment alike, that the scale of precarious nonstandard employment is growing, and that the rise of nonstandard work is adding to the risks of precarious and informal work.
