This thesis explores the experiences and perceptions of precarious employment on subjective wellbeing amongst women between the ages 24-44, living in northern British Columbia. The idea of this research evolved out of a larger SSHRC grant funded project of the Women North Network/Northern FIRE: Centre for Women's Health Research at UNBC (Women North Network, n.d.). The SSHRC grant funded research examined the experiences of older women (aged 45 years and older) with respect to the impact of precarious employment on their health and wellness. Through the use of exploratory qualitative research, the current research sample consisted of six younger participants, who self-identified as being involved in precarious employment, who provided data through semi-structured interviews. Additionally, a six stage thematic analysis process was used to analyze the data.
