Precarious work in Switzerland : experiences of crises of a hospitality worker

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Low wages, limited access to social protection and benefits, temporary or seasonal labor contracts, and employment through recruitment agencies or subcontractors are all defining characteristics of precarious work. The COVID-19 pandemic – marked by constant uncertainty and rapid change – has exacerbated precarious working conditions for many, especially for migrants. Insights from Fransisca’s* personal experiences highlight the impact of these challenges.
