New dimensions of precarious work among migrants: A qualitative meta-analysis of current research

This qualitative meta-analysis examines the ways in which issues of precarious work among migrants are investigated with a view to: (a) determine which dimensions of precarity are analyzed, and (b) identify new dimensions of precarious work which emerged from an analysis of a sample of 20 qualitative studies. The study identified five new dimensions which were not included in previously proposed conceptualizations of precarious work, namely, precarity as a conceptual tool to analyze other issues, strategies dealing with precarity, individual experience of dealing with precarious conditions, reasons why precarity occurs, and political dimension.
