Risk, working environment and adverse events: Young people in digital labour markets (RADAR 2)
The project deals with a new branch of work research, namely working conditions for young people in the new digital labour markets. The project builds on the results of the previous project RADAR, which showed that digitally mediated work can have negative consequences for the psychosocial well-being of young people. The project also showed that psychosocial risks are often exacerbated when work is unregulated and digitally mediated. Digitally mediated employment is thought to be growing rapidly, especially among young people. The new project will continue the studies and also find and communicate solutions consisting of preventive measures aimed at young people.
