“[…] this research will uncover how individuals in precarious employment understand and weigh choices and navigate recommendations to mitigate the spread of illness, specifically COVID-19, given the strong precarious employment conditions and economic security that have, in the past, created incentives to not take sick leave when ill. We will investigate workers’ employment conditions and their reasoning about health risks and sick leave to reveal how precarious employment shapes the social dynamics of disease transmission and vulnerability. Our specific goal is to identify viable conditions for preventing COVID-19 transmission in precarious work environments by developing strategies to address the unique circumstances of this population.”
