越来越多的证据表明，英国的“灵活劳动力市场”存在问题，在职贫困和不安全的程度不断上升。然而，历届政府都强调，有偿工作是实现包容的途径，将注意力集中在就业和失业之间的鸿沟上。过去衡量社会排斥的努力往往也会做出同样的区分。本文的目的是应用莱维塔斯和S(2007年)的框架来评估排他性就业水平，即直接由于个人的劳动力市场状况而被排除在外。使用英国贫困和社会排斥调查的数据，结果显示，三分之一的成年人在有偿工作中处于贫困状态，或者处于没有保障或质量低下的工作中。这一群体中的三分之一在过去五年中没有看到他们的劳动力市场状况有任何进展。政策重点需要从“支离破碎的英国”转移到英国支离破碎的劳动力市场。
There is growing evidence of the problematic nature of the UK's 'flexible labour market' with rising levels of in-work poverty and insecurity. Yet successive governments have stressed that paid work is the route to inclusion, focussing attention on the divide between employed and unemployed. Past efforts to measure social exclusion have tended to make the same distinction. The aim of this article is to apply Levitas et al.'s (2007) framework to assess levels of exclusionary employment, i.e. exclusion arising directly from an individual's labour market situation. Using data from the Poverty and Social Exclusion UK survey, results show that one in three adults in paid work is in poverty, or in insecure or poor quality employment. One third of this group have not seen any progression in their labour market situation in the last five years. The policy focus needs to shift from 'Broken Britain' to Britain's broken labour market.
