4% of the workforce aged between 15 and 64 fall into the category of workers with zero-hours contracts.
Statistics Finland estimates that some 83 000 employees (4% of the workforce) aged between 15 and 64 fall into the category of workers with zero-hours contracts. A majority of those with zero-hours contracts, 57%, were women. Those who worked on zero-hours contracts were mainly young: nearly one-half were aged under 25 and 65% were aged under 30. These contracts were most common among persons aged 15 to 19 with 20% of them ‘employed’ on zero-hours contracts.
