چکیده
I thank the opportunity to reply to Eduardo Siqueira’s and Maria Inês Carsalade Martins’ contributions dealing with my article on global precariousness. In this reply I will discuss the sections of their contributions that deal more specifically with my article. Concurrent with Prof. Siqueira, moving beyond proximal determinants to multilevel frameworks that encompass the mechanisms linking more than one level is a must for a realist deeper understanding of worker’s health. How political economy and in particular class relations determine patterns of labor market and social protection is palpable in today’s Brazil predicament. Did the Partido dos Trabalhadores – PT (Workers’ Party) have an alternative to class compromise to achieve its population health gains, or was there a way to avert the breakdown of class compromise once the effects of the global recession reached Brazil? Better data and (mixed) methods are necessary to better understand the social contribution to precarious employment, yet explanatory models are also needed 1. Although descriptive epidemiology is a starting point we also need to understand how poor health is generated via labour market policies down to precarious worker’s mental health. Carles Muntaner
