Findings. Multidimensional interpretations of precariousemployment are analyzed, which include not only the type of employment (non-standard), but alsothe conditions of employment and its subjective components.

The transition from the study of precarious employment to the study of careers in conditions of precariousemployment is recorded, the concepts of "career complexity", "discontinuous occupational trajectory","employment strain" are revealed. The necessity of analyzing the social contexts of precariousemployment is justified. Conclusions. The analysis of the literature made it possible to identifythe directions of the evolution of ideas about precarious employment and ways of studying it. It isnecessary to develop a definition and concept of precarious employment which more fully presents its psychological components.
