Susanne Heeger neemt deel aan twee onderzoeksprogramma’s:

  • Familie en Recht: Regulering van familierelaties. Daarmee is zij betrokken bij UCERF (zie: http://www.ucerf.nl). Haar onderzoeksbelangstelling betreft de gevolgen van familierelaties op arbeid en sociale zekerheid en vice versa, in het bijzonder op het terrein van arbeid en zorg.
  • Future of Work  (https://www.uu.nl/onderzoek/future-of-work). Dit vormt een onderdeel van het overkoepelende, multidisciplinaire onderzoeksthema Resilient Societies. Daarbinnen verricht zij onderzoek naar flexibele arbeidsrelaties, waaronder ook platformarbeid.

About bEUcitizen

The project set out to identify, investigate, discuss and ameliorate the barriers to the active use of EU citizenship rights (and knowledge of duties). The insights were developed by studying citizenship from different disciplines: law, political science, social sciences, history, philosophy, public administration and economics.

The research has been conducted by eminent researchers from 26 institutions situated in 19 countries in Europe and outside. It was coordinated by Utrecht University, with Frans van Waarden and Sybe de Vries as principal coordinators. See for more information the bEUcitizen website.

Project
Life Course, Social Security and Labour Market 17.11.2006 to 15.09.2013
General project description

The life course is seen as an important reference point in the debate on the modernization of social security. Life course arrangements make a less sharp distinction between internal (chosen) and external risks compared to traditional welfare-state arrangements, fit into a knowledge-based society and accommodate diversity. By improving the fit between work and private life, life course arrangements furthermore aim at increasing labour market participation. In this research project, the effects of actual and potential life arrangements are analysed. The take-up and the need for such arrangements, the legal possibilities of including such arrangements into statutory social security law and collective labour agreements are studied, as well as their labour market effects. Our starting point is the modern mobile worker, who wants to combine work, care and training in a flexible labour market that is increasingly influenced by (inter-)national laws and regulations. For more information see our project page.
