Research Summary

Research Topic: Transforming lives and cities through decent work? A comparative exploration from employee perspective on decent work, living wages and their impacts.

Cassandra's research at the University of Glasgow focuses on the sustainable development goal “decent work”, which the UK has implemented mainly through living wage initiatives and feeds into the goal of “ending poverty in all its forms”. Her advances inchoate theorising and adds multi-level empirical perspectives for employees’, their families and organisations. This will advance insight into employees’ and their families’ experiences of decent work, particularly examination of their psychological impacts. It identifies important drivers to employer engagement and decision making regarding decent work and informs Scottish policy delivery and future policy design.

Cassandra is actively collaborating with The Poverty Alliance, a network of organisations and individuals working together to end poverty in Scotland. The research project is also connected to a global living wage initiative - Project GLOW.
