Access to Social Protection Among Precarious Workers in the EU

This project – in cooperation with the DG for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion of the European Commission – evaluated the unique data of the 7th wave of SHARE with its life histories in order to assess who has access to social protection (especially claims on public, occupational and private pensions) among precariously employed workers (especially self-employed, part-time and on fixed-term contracts). It creates life-course sequences of employment by type of employment among retirees who were on precarious jobs and compares pension income and assets with that of formerly non-precariously employed workers.

The project contributed to the Pension Adequacy Report of the European Commission.
