Abstract

[Although the precise meaning of precariousness and social exclusion is rather blurred, combined these terms refer to insecure conditions of existence as the result of remote decisions made at the expense of ordinary people’s lives. They encompass not only non-standard employment and worse labour conditions but life itself. They are strongly connected to a status of vulnerability, where people become ‘second class’ citizenry who cannot schedule their future, tend to be socially isolated and materially deprived as they do short and dead-end jobs and are forced on social programmes schemes. The discussion draws on extensive ethnographic research in Athens focusing on the experience of precariousness in an anti-social situation.]
