ChallengeSocioeconomic Status
According to Sandra Buchholz 2008, who wrote the article, “Life Courses in the Globalization Process,”
While well qualified employees still enjoy high protection against labour market risks, employers tend to impose asymmetric relationships especially on the less qualified and on the outsiders of the labour market. Thus, the increase of risks and uncertainty in the globalization process is channeled systematically to the disadvantage of the lower skilled and less qualified workers, thereby amplifying the importance of social characteristics, such as education and class.
