Project: Youth Precarity

“Youth Precarity” is a research project focusing on precarious work and young people asking: What exactly do we mean by the term “precarity”? What is the current situation for young people aged 18-34 in the Greek labour market? How do experiences of labour precarity affect young people’s identity, views, and aspirations? Is precarity invincible?

The research program includes, among others, quantitative research, a report analysis of available data from the Labour Force Survey, policy proposals, a series of vidcasts called “On Precarity”, networking and awareness-raising initiatives as well as actions to highlight collective resistance against precarious work in Greece and abroad.

The research project will be carried out in collaboration with the Laboratory of Social Theory and Empirical Research of the Department of Sociology of the University of Athens.
