Who cares? The social care sector and the future of youth employment
研究了社会护理部门作为青年就业来源的潜力,发现该部门的高就业不安全性可能加剧欧洲青年就业的不稳定,质疑其提供稳定工作的能力。
The social care sector has been identified as a potential source of job creation for young people by policymakers, however the quality of such employment opportunities requires closer scrutiny. This study reveals how job creation strategies focused upon sectors such as social care which have high levels of employment insecurity can contribute towards reinforcing patterns of precarious work across Europe. Drawing upon research involving young people and representatives from the sector, this study argues that while attracting new employees is a worthy objective, the capacity of the social care sector to offer secure employment for young people is questionable.
