On April 27, 2022 at 15:30, Dr. Instructor Member Nazlı ŞENSES ÖZCAN gave a seminar titled “Gender, Women and the Precariat: Examples from Turkey”. The event was held online via the Zoom platform. The purpose of this presentation focuses on how the intersection of gender and migration dynamics creates different forms of precariat (flexible and precarious work) and the conceptual/theoretical implications of this intersection in understanding precariat. The spread of flexible and precarious working conditions contradicts the SDG8 target. As SDG8 states, it is aimed to protect workers' rights and to work in a safe environment. Flexible and insecure working conditions have a negative impact on human health, where the rights of workers are restricted, the stress of being fired is experienced at any time. Flexible and insecure working conditions adversely affect women and immigrants in particular, and constitute an obstacle to achieving SDG5 and SDG10 targets. For these reasons, understanding the precariat and examining how it affects different groups is one of the most important steps in removing barriers to SDG goals.

This article examines the social-psychological mechanisms behind how citizens in societies with clear social/political divisions cope with the uncertainties arising from COVID-19 vaccine developments. It shows that if society is strongly polarized, it is difficult to overcome an immediate collective threat that requires public cooperation with health policies. The paper's findings offer key policy implications for the immunization phase of the pandemic and contribute to the areas of individual judgment and decision-making about public health, conflict studies, and social risks.
