Essential features and reasons for scaling the phenomenon of precarious practice

Ivan Oliinyk
Abstract

The article reveals the essence of precarity as a social phenomenon and substantiates the reasons for the spread of this phenomenon. The classical approach based on the relationship between the emergence of precarity and economic and social transformations, globalization, crisis phenomena and unexpected challenges of modern society is considered. As part of the precarity study, the concept of habitus by P. Bourdieu is reinterpreted, which is understood as a socio-economic position regarding work as one of the lifestyle aspects. The idea of "precarious habitus" is substantiated, which not only enables the "normalization" of the precariat in the public consciousness, but also contributes to the change of people's general ideas about work and employment in general

Keywords
