"Work, Employment and Society" is a leading international peer-reviewed journal of the British Sociological Association which publishes theoretically informed and original research on the sociology of work.
Sabrina Glanz, Fabian Beckmann, Fabian Hoose and Serkan Topal recently published an article there entitled ‘Precarious platform work, Precarious platform workers? A multi-level approach towards the economic situation of platform workers in Germany’. Based on a quantitative survey among platform workers (n=430) in Germany they analysed the interplay between platform work earnings, income from other employment and the household income and the effect of socio-demographic variables. Different types of platform work were distinguished.
