Abstract

This dissertation focuses on the precarious work of young graduates of higher education. Its aim is to investigate, with qualitative methods, the effect of the precarious work treaty as well as the effects it has on the different aspects of the lives of young workers, graduates of higher education. This dissertation consists of two main parts. The first part, provides a bibliographic overview of the theories and approaches of precarious work, while the second part presents the findings of the research we conducted. For the empirical research, we conducted semi-structured interviews with new employees, graduates of higher education, who work in precarious regimes (part-time contracts, part-time work, subsidized work (stage), staff lending, part-time employment, "black employment", work, etc.). The main findings show that young graduates of higher education are greatly affected by precarious work in all aspects of their lives. In particular, the transition from education to employment is a difficult process for young graduates, as employers may be reluctant to offer a full-time contract to someone who is just entering the job market with little or no previous employment. experience. Therefore, for many young people, working in precarious positions is considered a transitional situation, a "step" towards permanent employment. Precariousness also permeates the organization of the daily lives of young graduates, as flexible and messy schedules often lead to limited effective planning for leisure, whenever it arises. Also, regarding the future plans of the new graduates of higher education, it becomes clear that, they themselves seek to achieve stability in their professional field while some, are positive in the change of subject either for the realization of financial security or for the achievement of professional rehabilitation. In addition, most respondents project the prospect of migration, mainly the better working conditions prevailing in other foreign countries.
