class="ql-block">Such people are distinctive in terms of their labor relations, job positions, working hours, and incomes.</p> <p class="ql-block">这些都表明，以“单位”为主体的社会保障体系不能适应日益分散化、流动性强的就业格局。</p> <p

mobility.</p> <p class="ql-block">有的还没有纳入保障范围或保障不足，～</p> <p class="ql-block">Some people in flexible employment do not have any social security coverage or are not adequately covered,……</p> <p
