Joan Benach, director of GREDS-EMCONET, with Alejandra Vives, Gemma Tarafa, Carlos Delclós y Carles Muntaner establish 3 key messages:

  • Precarious employment is an emerging social determinant that affects the health of workers and their families. Yet its study remains in its infancy
  • Research tasks to be developed include more precise definitions, a detailed understanding of the pathways and mechanisms (how and why precariousness might affect health), stronger information systems and better tools for the design, implementation and evaluation of policies.
  • We propose an agenda for the next decade of research, establishing a compelling programme that expands our understanding of health-related employment precariousness and the evaluation of policy programmes.
