Research
Our research group is interested in better understanding patterns of socio-spatial inequality in labour, migration and gender. We examine how these inequalities are produced, reproduced and contested across different scales – from the workplace and the household to national labour markets and transnational care chains.

Precarious Employment and Labour Market Exclusion
More about Precarious Employment and Labour Market ExclusionWe examine how structural conditions produce and sustain labour market exclusion, and how workers in low-wage sectors experience and navigate precarity.
We explore the opportunities and challenges resulting from the rise of online labour platforms in Switzerland and beyond, asking how digitalisation reshapes the meaning, organisation and conditions of work.
We analyse the implications of current reconfigurations of care for labour conditions, migration patterns and gender relations.
