Employment conditions

Is the normal employment relationship now the exception?

The development of employment conditions is characterised by an increase in atypical forms of employment (temporary employment, mini jobs, part-time and temporary work, solo self-employment) with mostly poor pay.

Our research asks whether this development is experienced as precarisation and what steps are taken to counteract it.

Studies “fair instead of precarious”

In the publication “fair statt prekär” (fair instead of precarious), various empirical studies are published in loose sequence, in which the effects of precarisation on working conditions and living situations in the region are elaborated and illustrated in detail. The studies analyse processes of precarisation and highlight starting points for interventions to foster fair employment.

The publications from the series are available as PDF downloads (in german). Individual copies can also be ordered from us as printed brochures. Please send your order by e-mail to: iris.kastel-drillertu-dortmundde.
