Research in the Sociology of Work
Researchers working in sociology, public policy, and other areas in the US, Europe, South Africa, and India present 15 essays on work that is uncertain, unstable, and insecure, and in which employees bear the risks of and receive limited social benefits and statutory protectionsThey address precarious work and the regime of competition in Europe; classification struggles in semi-formal and precarious work in inmate labor and a local independent culture industry; the conceptualization and measurement of job precarity; precarious work in the US, including the impact of the Great Recession, hackathons, and the role of race, gender, and educational attainment; international perspectives from Germany, Europe, the global south, and India; and the consequences of precarious work for early careers, the transition to marriage, and contract workers. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *
