Objective
Continuation of successful low-wage employment research network Lower is proposed, focusing on contribution professionalisation of low-skilled consumer services can make to European job growth and to quality of life of the low skilled, and how changes in training can support this. Project examines role of private consumption in differing relationship between GDP growth and employment in EU and US, and potential stimulus to consumer demand in EU from improved quality of services. It examines how low skilled may benefit from improved job structures in services, how this fits with their capabilities (high levels of literacy in Europe) and preferences between paid and unpaid work. It also considers how professionalisation relates to industrial organisation of services. Overall it aims to mitigate labour market problems of low skilled by integrating them in the Knowledge Society. In co-ordinating the research of its members in these fields the network will organise nine workshops and conferences to stimulate a research programme and output highly relevant to European employment policy.
