SPATIAL DIVISIONS OF LABOR
Social and spatial inequalities in the world of labour have been increasing in Hungary during the past decades. We investigate these inequalities by embedding their analysis into global processes of capitalist development. Our work also aims at giving voice to the workers and how changing social relations of work affect them. In our research we combine methodologies of economic geography, sociology and anthropology. Additionally, we uncover possible interventions with social partners which would enable decreasing social and spatial inequalities in the world of work.
