A higher percentage of workers in Scotland are now relying on zero hours contracts than any other UK nation.
Figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show that from October last year to March this year the number of Scots relying on such contracts increased from 94,000 to 105,000.
That means 3.9 per cent of the Scottish workforce does not have set hours from week-to-week - compared to a UK average of 3.4 per cent.
