They work hard as a normal employee and sometimes if not most of the time more than some normal employees but experiencing low coverage of wages. Although sometimes they are paid well according to the working hours spent, this mostly depends on the nature and background of their employers. Employers are not obligated to offer casual workers with an employee reimbursements compendium that full-time, permanent employees receive. This entails that most of them do not obtain paid vacations, retreats, breaks, holidays, or sick leave, and employer's annuity and health protection strategies do not customarily embrace them. It is rarely seen for labour legislations in Tanzania to include a casual worker as an employee. This manuscript intends to make an analysis on the position of casual workers in Tanzania, by looking at a number of labour legislations so as to make a determination as to how does these employment legislations have provided for the recognition and protection of casual workers in Tanzania. It also entails at estimating possible reasons for the recruitment of casual workers, disadvantages of recruitment of casual workers, and the challenges facing casual workers before, during and after being recruited by the employers. In the end it is the conclusion whereby the position of casual workers in Tanzania is seen and the possible solutions to suppress violations of casual worker’s rights.

This organisational experimentation is commonly initially based on digital online communities. Their further offline development is rather uneven, however, as it is informed by the type of platform work the workers engage in and the power resources available to them (or simply because the current structure is efficient enough for fulfilling the platform workers’ purposes). Nevertheless, these bottom-up initiatives point to recurrent patterns in labour-capital dynamics. Some new organisations, in terms of scale, structure or development, recall the kinds of worker organisations that appeared at the end of the nineteenth century. Most but not all of these new organisations have oriented themselves towards a logic-of-membership approach. In many instances, this approach might be complementary with the logic-of-influence approach favoured by today’s mainstream trade unions. Building alliances between the ‘new’ and ‘old’ could reinforce the countervailing power of platform workers and their struggle for regulatory change in the platform economy.","PeriodicalId":329909,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Informal Economy; Underground Economy (Topic)","volume":"84 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120975402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assess the evidence for a rise in precarious employment in Germany from 1984 to 2013. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) through the Luxembourg Income Study, we examine low-wage employment, working poverty, and temporary employment. We also analyze changes in the demographics and the education/skill level of the German labor force. Although employment overall has increased, there has been a simultaneous significant increase in earnings and wage inequality. Moreover, there has been a clear increase in all three measures of precarious employment. The analyses reveal that models including a wide variety of independent variables – demographic, education/skill, job/work characteristics, and region – cannot explain the rise of precarious employment. Instead, we propose institutional change is the most plausible explanation. In addition to reunification and major social policy and labor market reforms, we highlight the dramatic decline of unionization among German workers. We conclude that while there are elements of stability to the German coordinated market economy, Germany increasingly exhibits substantial dualization, liberalization, inequality, and precarity.","PeriodicalId":329909,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Informal Economy; Underground Economy (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129221980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
