Vulnerability of Young and Older Workers Across Europe in Times of Crisis
Full text linkThe current social and economic developments in Europe provide us with much of the rationale to understand how our contemporary society has reached the current situation of highly polarised social and labour inequalities. In this context, debates on the current labour market are centred on the worldwide economic crisis and emerging inequalities, exploring the underlying causes that stem from labour market transformations, which for decades have weakened the situation of workers in positions of high risk. Emphasis is placed on labour precariat – where both unemployment and employment interact to define vulnerability, particularly of those not fitting within the expected ideal-type worker, in Europe, such as the workers at either end of the
labour age spectrum, the older and the younger workers. This volume, adopts a dual lens that
incorporates the diversity of social dialogue outlooks, to critically expose the situation of these
two vulnerable groups; the younger and the older workers. A context in which trade unions’ representation of such workers’ interests and rights is fundamental in ensuring opportunities for workers of all ages throughout the lifecycle. Through an analysis grounded on an innovative empirical
study conducted across Europe, the volume exposes how beyond these two age groups workers,
vulnerability of non-ideal type workers – including migrant workers, women workers and the intersectional range of social constructions that place workers in these high social risk situations,
is the core for their enduring vulnerability, particularly in times of crisis in Europe. Moreover, the
several contributions included expose how the condition of these non ideal-type workers not only
places them in a constantly precarious labour situation, but also renders them invisible to those
mechanisms of support, protection and prevention of their working rights and opportunities
Alcolismo e immigrazione: analisi della bibliografia e ricerca sul campo nella città di Treviso.
No full textPrecarización del trabajo y nuevas desigualdades: el papel de la inmigración
Full text linkEste artículo se centra en el “doble papel” que puede tener la
inmigración en el proceso de precarización del trabajo: por un lado interesa
sobretodo y de manera considerable los trabajadores inmigrantes, por el
otro, la inmigración es a menudo un vector de difusión y ampliación de
precariedad. Examina el impacto de la precariedad sobre los trabajadores
inmigrantes en el contexto europeo y la importancia general de las
políticas migratorias en adelantar una mayor ampliación de la precariedad;
después toma en consideración el contexto italiano como símbolo de la
precarización del trabajo inmigrante y de la experimentación en el sector
de la inmigración de nuevas formas de precariedad.
The article focuses on the “double role” immigration may have
in the process of causalization of work: on one hand such process firstly
and markedly involves migrant workers, on the other hand immigration
often provides a vector of spreading and increase of precarity. The article
deals with the impact of precarity on migrant workers within the European
context, and the global importance of migration policies in anticipating a
larger expansion of precarity; then, it focuses on the Italian context as a
symbol for both the precarization of migrant labour and the experimentation
in the migration sector of new forms of precariousness
Precarizzazione strutturale del lavoro e precarizzazione globale delle migrazioni. L'esempio dei lavoratori in distacco intracomunitario
No full textL’articolo prende in esame i processi di precarizzazione del lavoro e di precarizzazione delle migrazioni, approfondisce i nessi tra questi due fenomeni e le conseguenze sociali derivanti dal loro intreccio (ad esempio la doppia precarietà dei lavoratori immigrati), analizza il ruolo delle politiche migratorie nel preparare il terreno all’ampliamento generale della precarietà. L’articolo si focalizza sul lavoro in distacco intracomunitario (posting of workers), che costituisce un esempio della convergenza dei processi di precarizzazione del lavoro e delle migrazioni, un fattore di allargamento della precarietà, un nuovo meccanismo di sfruttamento differenziale del lavoro, un osservatorio da cui esaminare le nuove forme di precarietà lavorativa e le caratteristiche delle politiche migratorie contemporanee basate sempre più spesso sui paradigmi della temporaneità e della circolarità
Migration and Torture in Today’s World
No full textThis book analyses torture, inhuman and degrading treatment towards migrants worldwide, integrating overviews from several contexts and disciplines. It highlights that today migrants’ mistreatment is a global phenomenon, a frequent element of the migratory experience (in countries of departure, of transit, of arrival), an intrinsic component of state policies, and an extreme form of that structural violence which is inherent to the contemporary war on migrants at the global level
