What is precarious employment? A systematic review of definitions and operationalizations from quantitative and qualitative studies

“…Two studies further distinguished between whether participants received medical insurance and social insurance (44,60). This goes hand in hand with lack of regulatory support for full benefits, where the effectiveness of labor policies and labor standards were questioned (64,69,76,82). Studies also investigated whether workers had access and/or power to exercise workplace rights such as, protection against unfair dismissal, protection from authoritarian treatment, discrimination or harassment (12,36,60,78,83).…”

“…Number of included studies according to study characteristics. One mixed method, one historical article tive observational studies(12,, while 18 were qualitative studies(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69)(70)(71)(72)(73)(74)(75)(76)(77)(78)(79)(80)(81). Only one article conducted a mixed-methods approach(83) and one was an historical article(82).…”

Broadening the scope of live‐in migrant care research: How care networks shape the experience of precarious work

“…LIMC work is dominantly described as precarious work (Hellgren, ; Salami et al, ). But as Antonucci (: 888) concluded in a cross‐country study on university students: ‘not all experiences of precarious work lead to precarity’. Although our research was not comparative, based on what is known about LIMC workers in less extensive welfare states (cf.…”

Student budgets and widening participation: Comparative experiences of finance in low and higher income undergraduates at a northern red brick university

“…Students from low income backgrounds, and those whose parents cannot provide the amount assumed by the assessed household contribution, “pay” for their financial self‐reliance by being tacitly excluded from the more expensive aspects of the student experience, taking on substantial amounts of part‐time work, or accessing further debt from private sources. In these terms, the article contributes to an emerging body of evidence that suggests changes in the funding of HE in England are, at a micro‐level, contributing to intra ‐generational inequalities in the form of both the costs and benefits of degree level study (Antonucci, ; Lewis & West, ).…”
