Research Note New dimensions of precarious work among migrants: A qualitative meta-analysis of current research Dominika Polkowska Maria Curie-Sklodowska University Abstract This qualitative meta-analysis examines the ways in which issues of precar- ious work among migrants are investigated with a view to: (a) determine which dimensions of precarity are analyzed, and (b) identify new dimensions of precarious work which emerged from an analysis of a sample of 20 quali- tative studies. The study identified five new dimensions which were not included in previously proposed conceptualizations of precarious work, namely, precarity as a conceptual tool to analyze other issues, strategies dealing with precarity, individual experience of dealing with precarious conditions, reasons why precarity occurs, and political dimension. Keywords migrant precarity, precarious work, precarious employment, meta-analysis, migrants Introduction As a group, migrants are particularly exposed to the risk of precarity because their employment relations and working conditions are poor and insecure (Vosko, 2010). Existing studies concerning precarious work among migrants present only a small fragment of migrants’ reality because these studies mostly focus on their insecure existence based on precarious employment. Examples of such studies can be found in various contexts, for example, Australia (Boese et al., 2013), the UK (McDowell et al., 2014; Potter and Corresponding author: Dominika Polkowska, Department of Sociology, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University 4, 20-031 Lublin, Poland.
