Title: Dire straits
In this project we will examine precarious forms of moonlighting in seven advanced economies.
Research questions include:
- How can we classify MJHs and who are doing ‘bad jobs’?
- Who are the MJHs combining ‘bad jobs’ (micro, meso and macro factors)?
- How static or dynamic are dimensions of quality and total worker wellbeing across time?
This project is carried out by a PhD researcher and takes a multi-method approach. The PhD will start with a literature review on precarious forms of multiple jobholding, and integrate labour law analysis and policy analysis in his or her initial chapters of the dissertation. The empirical chapters will be based on analyses of the survey data (first wave) and will investigate the measurement and classification of precarious forms of multiple jobholding, quality of work in 1st, 2nd and other jobs on different dimensions among precarious MJHs, and the relation with their contexts. The final empirical chapter will be based on analyses of the dynamic app data and analyses the stability or dynamics of the quality and total worker wellbeing among precarious MJHs.
