For my PhD in Sociology I analyse trends in job quality (work intensity, working time flexibility and job autonomy) across various welfare systems in the EU. My research interests involve broadly various aspects of job and employment quality from the comparative perspective. I researched work-life balance arrangements in Italy; retirement transitions in Poland; professional work environments in the UK; debates and measures of quality of employment from the perspective of a development agenda of Latin America; gender equality and gender norms in the EU.
