Beskrivning

The relationship between unstable work careers and family transitions into adult life can vary according to the personal circumstances of individuals, as well as the welfare state system of the country. Drawing from interviews and survey data across the EU and the UK, this in-depth study explores how worker instability is perceived and experienced, and how this ‘perception’ in turn affects individuals’ economic and social situations. Using intersectional analysis and a unique focus on different life stages, the authors identify groups who are more prone to labour market risks and describe their relative disadvantage. This powerful study will inform policy measures internationally in several social domains related to work, employment and society.

Recensioner i media

'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.' British Journal of Sociology
