Factors of Precariat Formation: New Conditions and New Strata
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The topic of the precariat has recently gained considerable salience in society and substantial demand in scholarly publications. It is no coincidence that a new social stratum is widespread in all modern societies and tends to be constantly replenished, bringing differentiation and diversity to the composition and content of this group. The precariat phenomenon is shaped by macro-social challenges in societies: structuration disruptions, labor market volatility, and the dearth of enduring employer-employee relations. Subjective factors contributing to precariat formation encompass the potential of economic, cultural, social, and symbolic capital. The objec-tive ones include the influence of social institutions of the family, education, the labor market, and the economy on attitudes to work and its role in modern society.
