Arbeitsmodelle der Zukunft Wie realistisch ist eine 4-Tage-Woche?
Weniger Arbeiten für gleich viel Geld. Was nach Wunschdenken klingt, könnte schon bald Realität werden. Wie eine 4-Tage-Woche aussehen könnte und für welche Branchen sich so ein Modell eignet, erklärt Caroline Straub vom Institut für New Work in Bern
Wie Gigwork selbstbestimmte Laufbahnen im Digitalzeitalter ermöglicht
Die Arbeitslandschaft des 21. Jahrhunderts befindet sich in einem radikalen Wandel (De Vos & Van der Heijden, 2017). Neue Laufbahnen sind entstanden, welche weniger linear, weniger vorhersehbar und nicht an einen Arbeitgeber gebunden sind (Arthur, 2008). Ein Beispiel für eine solche neue, moderne Form der beruflichen Laufbahn ist Gigwork. Diese Arbeitsform untersuchen Forscher*innen der BFH Wirtschaft und der Universität Bern in einem Projekt
A Loop of Conflict and Mobility: The Case of the Kurdish Diaspora in Switzerland
This research investigates the loop of conflict and mobility by focusing on people who fled their country of origin due to conflict, and experienced conflict after the replacement in the arrival country. To reveal how conflict is reconstructed and reembodied within translocal, transcultural, and transnational spaces we conducted qualitative research (ethnographic observations and in-depth interviews). We recruited 12 Kurdish refugees (6 women, age ranges from 23 to 55 years old) from four dislocation regions (Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran) who applied for asylum in Bern (Switzerland). Preliminary results of the reflexive thematic analysis showed that people with different dislocation backgrounds have different conflict experiences in their homeland: political repression and armed conflict in Turkey, war and occupation of lands in Syria, the Islamist regime in Iran, and inter-group conflict in Iraq. Participants narrated translocal (between cities and towns), transcultural (between religious and political groups), and transnational (between different nation-states) conflicts. They made spatial (four parts of the Kurdish homeland), temporal (before and after the war, occupation, refuge, etc.), and intergroup comparisons (between different Kurdish groups). Furthermore, representation claims (e.g., “We are real Kurds”, “we fought against the enemy in the homeland”, and “We struggled most for refugee rights in the arrival country”) were made. Finally, a common ingroup identity against “outsiders” (“We all Kurds”) has been expressed
