Precarious workers occupy a grey area where basic employment or social protection rights are often significantly reduced, giving rise to a situation of uncertainty in all the spheres of life.
This project wants to emphasize not only the occupational conditions of precarious workers, but - in a broader sense - the influence of a situation of uncertainty on crucial choices in private life of the young Europeans. The central problem for precarious jobs depends on one side on welfare (reduced possibility to benefit of social rights) and, on the other side, on the
risk distribution of non-stable and poor-security employment, which is higher for some groups of workers,mainly young people.
Trapped of flexible? Risk transitions and missing policies for young high-skilled workers in Europe is a pilot project to encourage the conversion of precarious work into work with rights funded by the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, DG Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion. 
It is coordinated by Istituto per la Ricerca Sociale - IRS (Milan, IT) and Dipartimento di Sociologia e Ricerca Sociale of the University of Trento (Trento, IT),in cooperation with Institute for Employment Studies (Brighton, UK), Centro de Estudios Economicos Tomillo S.L. (Madrid, ES) and Amitié srl (Bologna, IT).
