这就导致退休老年人生活水平的提升速度普遍高于在职人群家庭。
The Zero Heroes:
零时工族:
Those stuck on zero-hours contracts, making them feel insecure at work. Researchers estimate that there are nearly 1m zero heroes, with an average hourly salary of £8.50, well below the British average of £12.
这类人群没有固定工作合同,因而工作时没有安全感。调查人员估计,英国大约有一百万人打零工,平均时薪为8.5英镑,远低于英国平均12英镑的水平。
In the minds of many Britons, the plight of zero-hour contractors is encapsulated by the idea that someone who has worked hard at school still cannot find a secure job.
对许多英国人来说,零时工族的不幸是因为这些人都抱着一个想法:即使有些人刻苦学习,也未必能找到安稳的工作。
Zero heroes might work in industries like the creative arts; it is common for advertising firms, for instance, to offer zero-hours contracts. They are also common in the hospitality sector in particular, which needs to respond rapidly to fluctuations in demand.
打零工的人可能在创意艺术这类的行业工作。比如,广告公司普遍都会开出临时合同。接待部门的临时工尤其普遍,因为这种部门客户需求波动大。
The zero heroes do not earn very much. Based on estimates from the Office for National Statistics, it is estimated that the average zero-hours worker earns roughly 30 percent less than the average employee.
