Document Summary
The intersection of precarious employment and precarious work. Main claim/argument: we need a better conceptualization of precariousness. Sub-claim 1: we need to distinguish between various aspects of precariousness too often confused in existing literature: precarious employment (vosko 2010; also vosko 2006) Campbell and price: precarious employment: not protected work (laws and policy), low wages, low levels of employee control: precarious work (kalleberg 2011; also kalleberg and vallas 2018; lewchuk et al. Precarious employment is about the conditions in general. Often but not always look at non-standard": non-standard work and dimensions of employment clustering in a, precarious workers (anderson 2010) temporary job. Not all workers that are in a precarious job are precarious themselves. Low paid part-time job some people will be more, and other less precarious. Is it the same thing to be young and in part time work, vs a single mother and in part time work: no social location is important to consider, the precariat (standing 2011)
