This article examines the effect of social networks through the use of family, friends or relatives ties on quality of employment (QoE). Drawing from the socioeconomic literature on social networks and labor market, we propose an original and multidimensional measure of QoE, and a fruitful estimation approach of the effect of social networks on QoE...

Emerging countries and their leaders, the BRICS, can be revisited with an institutionalist approach enabling a better recognition of their diversity. Focusing on the composition of their labour nexus, this paper offers to question the category formed by these countries by studying their variety of quality of employment regimes. Two interesting resu...

The concept of quality of employment is a helpful response to different conceptualisations and typologies' failures in the analysis of the diversity of labour institutions in Latin America. In Colombia, the employment practices are characterized by the multiplication of atypical status, forming a continuum between salaried and self-employed workers...

In this context, the quali...
