Only a quarter of all workers worldwide have stable employment contracts, leading to growing job insecurity as well as increased inequality, says a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO).

The ILO's 2015 World Employment Social Outlook Report titled "The Changing Nature of Jobs," released on Tuesday, revealed a clear shift away from reliable full-time jobs, as short-term contracts and irregular hours become more widespread.

The report, covering more than 180 countries and 84 percent of the global workforce, said that three quarters of workers across the world are employed on temporary or short-term contracts, held informal jobs often without any contract, or were in unpaid family jobs.

The declining share of stable employment opportunities came amid soaring global unemployment, with 201 million people jobless last year - 30 million more than before the 2008 financial crisis, ILO said.

Globally, over 60 per cent of all workers lacked any kind of employment contract. And even among workers who earn salaries, only 42 percent had permanent contracts, the report noted.
