This compelling book delves into the damaging effects of job insecurity in higher education across ten countries, shedding light on its profound implications for individuals and institutions. By exploring the associations between job insecurity and critical factors such as health, well-being, and performance, it underscores the urgent need for effective intervention measures. The book also highlights the ripple effects of job insecurity on academic staff, researchers, PhD and postdoctoral students as well as administrative and support staff, ultimately impacting the quality of education. Featuring the largest cross-country data collection on this topic to date, this collaborative effort brings together leading international researchers to provide novel insights. Each chapter offers unique comparative analyses, making the book a vital resource for academics, policymakers, students, and readers worldwide who are invested in the future of higher education. It is both a call to action and a foundation for further research in this critical area.
