Drawing on data collected in London’s precarious labour market during the Covid-19 pandemic, this book explores how precarious work is pragmatically engaged with towards the production of simultaneous security and insecurity.
The analysis spans the full of scope of precarious working: procedures of job searching and applying, conducting duties and becoming acclimatised to the workplace, and exercises of chaining precarious jobs together or planning an exit into permanent and full-time work. These are brought into discussion to show how the flexibility of job searching interacts with the confinement of workplace activity.
A valuable contribution for scholars and students in the fields of sociology of work, and of social stratification, that has important implications for our understanding of employment in late modernity. Its ethnographic data regarding the practicalities of precarious work is highly relevant to social work, social policy, management and business. The application of that data to debates over the nature of capitalism is relevant to theoreticians across the social sciences including sociology, geography, anthropology and organizational studies.
