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. 606 $aStructural unemployment$zEurope 606 $aLabor market$zEurope 606 $aIndustries$xSocial aspects$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xEconomic conditions$y1945- 615 0$aStructural unemployment 615 0$aLabor market 615 0$aIndustries$xSocial aspects 676 $a331/.094 701 $aProcoli$b Angela$01683118 712 02$aEuropean Association of Social Anthropologists. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808350903321 996 $aWorkers and narratives of survival in Europe$94053696 997 $aUNINA
