Precarious employment in occupational health – an OMEGA-NET working group position paper

Despite the growing use of the term precarious employment, there is no consensus on a theoretical framework or definition.

Descrição
Resumo:Despite the growing use of the term precarious employment, there is no consensus on a theoretical framework or definition. This hampers the study of the subject, especially in public and occupational health. We propose a theoretical framework for understanding precarious employment as a multidimensional construct where unfavourable features of employment quality accumulate in the same job. Future research should apply an intersectional and multi-level approach to analysis, with a focus on improving exposure assessment and investigating mechanisms.
