The management of professional precariousness is reconsidered against the backdrop of far-reaching social, economic, and political changes in Europe in recent decades, including: the instability of the traditional family; the emergence of new forms of parenthood; globalization of the economic sphere; attempts to impose a uniform pattern of culture; and the breakdown of borders with former Communist countries. The contributors utilize extensive field studies in both Western and Central Europe to understand the meaning of professional uncertainty, as perceived by its victims, and the strategies they develop to face it.Structural unemploymentEuropeLabor marketEuropeIndustriesSocial aspectsEuropeEuropeEconomic conditions1945-Structural unemploymentLabor marketIndustriesSocial aspects331/.094Procoli Angela1814165European Association of Social Anthropologists.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971689303321Workers and narratives of survival in Europe4367835UNINA00502nas 2200181z- 450 991091341480332120250715204009.0(CKB)5460000000250406(EXLCZ)99546000000025040620241203cuuuuuuuu -u- -engSouthern Cross (Adelaide, SA : 1889 - 1954)2203-7624 Southern Cross NEWSPAPER9910913414803321Southern Cross (Adelaide, SA : 1889 - 1954)4299120UNINA
