Funder: Economic and Social Research CouncilDuration: March 2011 - May 2013
The overarching aim of the seminar series is to develop a cross research discipline research capability and capacity to address conceptual and empirical issues associated with the rise of precarious employment among young people in a comparative international perspective, its causes and the responses that has provoked so far by various social actors (governments, other policy authorities-social organisations and trade unions).
