Good work: the Taylor review of modern working practices

This independent review considers the implications of new forms of work on worker rights and responsibilities, as well as on employer freedoms and obligations. It sets out seven principles to address the challenges facing the UK labour market. The work of this review is based on a single overriding ambition: that all work in the UK economy should be fair and decent with realistic scope for development and fulfilment. The recommendations focus broadly on three challenges: (1) tackling exploitation and the potential for exploitation at work; (2) increasing clarity in the law and helping people know and exercise their rights; and (3) over the longer term, aligning the incentives driving the nature of the labour market with the UK's modern industrial strategy and broader national objectives.
