The number of workers on zero-hours contracts could be one million - four times as high as official estimates, according to new research. Such workers are on call to work when needed by bosses but employers do not have guarantee any hours.
Vidhya Alakeson, deputy chief executive of the Resolution Foundation thinktank, has said that if today's figures are true, they show that zero hours contracts can "no longer be dismissed as an issue affecting only a tiny minority".
The government is looking into zero hours contracts as new research says the number of people working such contracts could be one million.
Opinion varies dramatically among both workers and employees when it comes to zero hours contracts, as ITV News viewers demonstrate.
