Managing at the Margins: Women Making it Work in Precarious Times

该项目旨在调查不稳定工作对妇女的经济、社会和情感影响。该项目侧重于兼顾不稳定工作与照顾责任和/或社会支助系统的需求所带来的挑战，确定了妇女应对这些需求的战略，以及这些需求对不同生命阶段日常生活的影响。该项目将原本互不相关的文献与创新的定量和定性数据相结合，力求产生关于不稳定工作对妇女和家庭影响的新知识。预计这些知识将为改善妇女生活和促进经济包容和社会凝聚力的政策和服务提供信息。

This project aims to investigate the economic, social and emotional impacts of precarious work on women. Focusing on the challenges that arise from juggling precarious work with care responsibilities and/or demands from the social support system, the project identifies the strategies women have to manage these demands, and the impacts these demands have on everyday lives across different life stages. By combining otherwise separate bodies of literature with innovative quantitative and qualitative data, the project seeks to generate new knowledge about the impacts of precarious work on women and families. This knowledge is expected to inform policies and services to improve women’s lives and promote economic inclusion and social cohesion.
