Project

Precarious Work, Life-Course Outcomes, and Health

Conducted by Mikko Myrskylä; Christian Dudel, Angelo Lorenti, Jo Mhairi Hale (MPIDR / University of St Andrews, United Kingdom)

We unravel the mechanisms and trajectories through which individuals find themselves in precarious work, non-standard employment, and working poverty. Moreover, we assess how these employment arrangements give rise to, shape, and affect inequalities, particularly inequalities in health.  Detailed Description
