Guy Standing (economist)
Guy Standing (born 9 February 1948) is a British
labour economist. He is a professor of
development studies at the
School of Oriental and African Studies,
University of London, and a co-founder of the
Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN). Standing has written widely in the areas of labour economics, labour market policy, unemployment,
labour market flexibility, structural adjustment policies and
social protection. He created the term ''
precariat'' to describe an emerging class of workers who are harmed by low wages and poor
job security as a consequence of globalisation. Since the 2011 publication of his book ''The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class'', his work has focused on the precariat,
unconditional basic income,
deliberative democracy, and the
commons.
