It's a neologism which refers to a social class that, although cannot be counted as poor, lives such a life that there is no certainty for future. I don't know about other countries but in India we have got Call Centres. They pay well but you never know when they will kick you out or the company will shut its operations. And there is no way you can make a career in them. (working for forty-fifty years.) So the employees there tread on a thin rope, living the life of a "precariat."
Wikipedia says it combines "precarious" and "proletariat."
Any suggestions on how to render the word in Esperanto?

cFlat7:Frontiersman could be those who work in the frontier or those who are in-out every day, limistoj aŭ "limumuloj".erinja:"surlimularo"Also could be used for 'frontiersman'?
Surlim-ul-ar-o mi opinias ke estas bonege, i think its perfect because they are ""sur", and they can fall any moment...in Spain we say en el límite, in the limit, but Sur limo describes better that persons and their jobs.

I just happened to find a Greek translation. It reads "Επισφάλεια" (Episfaleia). Breaking it into its components "επι (epi-, upon) and "ασφάλεια" (?) (asfaleia, security), you notice another way to put the word into Esperanto: "sursekureclimo." But it's no use reinventing the wheel, for Erin's translation is good enough.
