Inhalt: Casualization is on the rise in higher education institutions (HEI) worldwide, particularly af-fecting working conditions and career prospects of young academics. They represent a vast pool of talent essential to meet future societal needs, yet this “generation precarious” increas-ingly questions whether it is worthwhile. In this paper we discuss the consequences of casual-ization for quality in teaching and research. We will present an overview of studies and sur-veys on employment terms, working conditions and career prospects for early-stage research-ers – the “generation precarious” – in Europe, with a particular eye to Norway. Based on this, we highlight concerns and potential consequences of precarious work and deterioratingworking conditions within the higher education system.
