Portuguese term
precarização
Portuguese to English
Social Sciences
Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
The context is "precarização do trabalho"/"precarização das relações de trabalho". The sort of thing that's happening with AirBnB and Uber.
Would appreciate suggestions.
What I have come up with so far:
- job insecurity (although this wouldn't be the process and so wouldn't capture the "...ação" part of the Portuguese word)
- increasing job insecurity
- fragmentation of labor relations
As the word crops up on its own frequently in the text, the shorter and pithier the translation, the better.
Tks. in advance.

instability
Sugg.
Insiste em mais flexibilidade salarial e dos mercados de trabalho, o que contribui para a contenção salarial e precarização do trabalho. Quer maior flexibilidade do mercado de produtos, nomeadamente continuando a via da privatização, da liberalização e desregulamentação dos mercados. Daí o nosso voto contra.

The report insists on greater flexibility in pay and in the labour market, which contributes to pay disputes and to job instability. It wishes to see greater flexibility in the products market, in particular by pursuing the approach of privatising, liberalising and deregulating the markets. Hence our vote against the report.

increasing precariousness
Theory and empirics might also usefully focus on the different aspects of the ‘personal networks’ that now represent the contemporary institution supporting agglomeration (Duranton, 2001) and the creeping informality found in the global north as a result of the increasing precariousness of employment and the ‘gig economy’.

The sharing economy is thus thought to contribut to the increasing “precariousness” of labor, a term widely associated with autonomist Marxist thought ( a strain of Marxism developed in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s), which describes the fragmentation and discontinutiy of workd relations and experiences in contemporary capitalsim.

By Greg Goldberg pp 123-124
Technological utopians celebrate the transformation of traditional workers into micro-entrepreneurs, free to work whenever and for as long as they want in proportion to their preferences for income and leisure, while critics see a degradation of the standard employment relation and higher levels of precariousness and labour market vulnerability.

For decades, the increasing precariousness of work has been a source of mass frustration for tens of millions of Americans. But the issue has been largely below the political radar.

job jeopardizing (the jeopardization of jobs)
see the Definition of Jeopardize by Merriam-Webster; irrespective of what it says, the word has come to mean the act of putting oneself or something at risk.

In addition, let me suggest to consult some of the great number of links using the the term PRECARIZATION. Precarization of work and at work are frequently used and I could imagine this term to correspond this work even better than jeopardization or the other suggestions hitherto submitted.
