If it is not clear who will benefit, it is very clear who will suffer. It will be those who choose part-time contracts, such as parents with childcare responsibilities, students balancing their studies with earning and often taking their first step into employment, carers for elderly relatives or those seeking a transition into retirement—those for whom a fixed income provides a meaningful supplement for their household or student income, but who also value the opportunity to earn extra income as and when it suits them.
