description At a time when concerns are being raised about “precarious generation” it is interesting to analyze the increasing precarious employment in France and to study its possible effects on workers. The aim of this study was to observe the impacts caused by job insecurity on a reference population and whether these effects differ according to the sex of the employee subject to precarious conditions. For this purpose, we submitted a questionnaire to two groups of workers. The test focused on job insecurity and its impact in terms of stress, substance consumption and its impact on privacy. The results show significant differences on some dimensions (stress and consumption) between the group of precarious workers and non-precarious. In addition, gender differences were also significant. In the contrary, there were no effects on people’s privacy. Considering the lack of effect found we question the specific nature of the population analyzed. Also, we plan to extend this research to study indicators of teacher’s insecure employment.
