Abstract / Description
The number of students present on the labour market tends to increase significantly as the duration of studies is growing. This article offers insights into specific issues related to student workforce employment rights and mobilization. Using the data gathered in France during an EU funded research project, it reveals that students have a very specific approach to their work precariousness. Their main motivations turns to be outside of the workplace where they are only temporarily inserted and they prove very reluctant to act to improve their working conditions. Trade unions attitudes towards them vary from rejection to feeble support.
