The term social consequences of insecure jobs ( employment insecurity) refers to the (prevalently negative) impact of the employment situation on (a) individuals in terms of family, private and social life and wellbeing and life satisfaction in general and (b) on the aggregate social consequences for societies. Investigating insecurity, labor physiologists focused mainly on the self assessed insecurity of jobs coming with the organization of work and its consequences for single individuals, while economic sociologists and labor economists focused prevalently on employment contracts and its consequences for employment, individuals’ social behavior and the aggregate consequences in terms of inequality.

Abstract

The term social consequences of insecure jobs ( employment insecurity) refers to the (prevalently negative) impact of the employment situation on (a) individuals in terms of family, private and social life and wellbeing and life satisfaction in general and (b) on the aggregate social consequences for societies. Investigating insecurity, labor physiologists focused mainly on the self assessed insecurity of jobs coming with the organization of work and its consequences for single individuals, while economic sociologists and labor economists focused prevalently on employment contracts and its consequences for employment, individuals’ social behavior and the aggregate consequences in terms of inequality.
