摘要
关于不稳定就业(PE)对健康和福祉影响的研究通常将就业概念化为工人与雇主之间的权力关系,这种观点参考了权力关系和社会阶层关系理论。社会再生产理论是一个不太常见但却可以用来研究不稳定就业与健康的补充概念视角,其中工作性质与就业质量息息相关。社会再生产理论指出了工人群体之间的关系,他们因其工作产生利润的能力而受到不同的重视。除了工人与雇主之间既定的权力关系外,关注工人之间基于价值的关系可能会对健康和福祉产生影响,值得进行实证探索,并可作为另一种工具,激励围绕 PE 及其对健康的影响采取集体行动。我们利用 2022 年对纽约市就业不稳定的食品工人进行的深入访谈数据,对这一理论方法的潜在影响进行了说明和讨论。
Conceptualizing precarious employment through the lens of social reproduction: Potential implications for health research and action
Research on the health and well-being impact of precarious employment (PE) commonly conceptualizes employment as a relation of power between workers and employers, a perspective informed by power relations and relational social class theories. Social reproduction theory is a less common but complementary conceptual lens that can be used to investigate PE and health, in which the nature of work has relevance for the quality of employment. Social reproduction theory points to relations between groups of workers who are valued differently based on the capacity of their work to generate profit. Attending to relations between workers based on value, in addition to the well-established power relation between workers and employers, may point to consequences for health and well-being that are worth exploring empirically, and could serve as another tool to spur collective action around PE and its health effects. We provide an illustration and discuss the potential implications of this theoretical approach using data from in-depth interviews conducted in 2022 among precariously employed food workers in New York City.
