• Introduction1. Theoretical Background2. Objective and Subjective Job Insecurity in Europe3. Job Insecurity and Transition to Adulthood4. Investigating Objective and Subjective Employment Uncertainties and Their Repercussions for Mid-Career Employees5. Job Insecurity and Its Consequences For Older WorkersConclusion

'This rigorous and empirically rich book offers a compelling alternative to both narrowly economistic analyses and more diffuse invocations of precarity, grounding insecurity firmly within comparative life-course sociology. In doing so, it invites scholars to rethink not only how insecurity is distributed, but also how it accumulates across lives and institutions, and what the long-term consequences are for inequality in contemporary societies.'
