The Precariat Society

Abschied von der Mittelschicht: Die prekäre Gesellschaft

When Work Doesn’t Pay

Overview

A third of Europeans live in economic insecurity: Zero hours contracts, the fear of redundancy and stagnating wages have brought more and more people into poverty and precariousness and provided fertile conditions for the political extremes. This documentary focuses on the new working poor, the precariat.
