Authors:Reiko K Boyd
Institution:School of Social Welfare, University of California , Berkeley, Berkeley , California , USA
Abstract:Low-wage work is a modern social problem, affecting millions of individuals, families, and communities. The field of psychology is a critical starting point for examining the relationship between low-wage work and mental health. This literature review aims to identify psychological theories related to low-wage work. Psychological theories related to work and employment are explored, as is emerging research on the necessity of a paradigm shift from the dichotomous categories of “employed” and “unemployed,” which allows for the conceptualization of employment as a continuum. This research focuses on underemployment and may contribute to the development of theory directly relating to low-wage work.
Keywords:Low-wage work  working poor  theory  employment  underemployment  unemployment  inadequate employment  well-being
