#DemocratizingWork

Описание: Organizers: Dutch chapter of #DemocratizingWork

Date & Time: April 4, 2022, 16.30-18.00

Over the last decades, the share of non-standard labour contracts (solo self-employment, interim works, platform-mediated work, part-time work…) in the Dutch labour market has grown exponentially, allowing employers to hire and dismiss workers in highly flexible ways, shifting part of the entrepreneurial risks to them to substantially reduce the cost of labour. As a result, a large share of workers in The Netherlands are today employed under highly precarious conditions. They are much less protected than what they used to be under standard employment, in terms of wage guarantee, permanent employment and the social security protection that comes with it. In this webinar, we will examine the forms and prevalence of this widely precarious workforce in the Netherlands, its origins, historical evolution and consequences. We will then discuss possible responses to precarization in view of democratizing work and labour relations.
