Juvenile Workers or Pocketmoney Precariat? – The Process and Effect of Establishing Health and Safety Committees for Juvenile Workers in Danish Retail Sector
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review
In the Danish retail industry, young workers employed in temporary positions for few hours a week constitutes more than half of the employees. For the main part of the young workers this employment is their first meeting with the labor market, they lack knowledge and awareness of the work environment, and at some workplaces the introduction is limited, ‘ad-hoc’ or ‘fast-track’ [1]. Often the young worker feel only limited involved in decisions regarding their work [2]. It may be beneficial both for short- and long-term performance and security to increase the young workers knowledge of and involvement in the work environment issues, as well as the employer’s awareness on the needs of the young workers.
