Inhalt: Casualization is on the rise in higher education institutions (HEI) worldwide, particularly affecting 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” increasingly questions whether it is worthwhile. In this paper we discuss the consequences of casualization for quality in teaching and research. We will present an overview of studies and surveys on employment terms, working conditions and career prospects for early-stage researchers – the “generation precarious” – in Europe, with a particular eye to Norway. Based on this, we highlight concerns and potential consequences of precarious work and deteriorating working conditions within the higher education system.
