Underemployment - when people are employed in some way that is
insufficient, such as being overqualified or working part-time when
one desires full-time employment - is a challenge faced by all
industrialized nations and their organizations and individuals.
Just like unemployment, some level of underemployment exists even
in the best of times, but it becomes more pervasive when the job
market is weak. Given the current economic climate in North America
and abroad, researchers and scholars in various disciplines
(psychology, business, sociology, economics) are becoming more
interested in investigating the effects of underemployment and
identifying possible practical solutions. Underemployment
synthesizes the current understanding of the phenomenon by bringing
together scholars with diverse perspectives and expertise with the
aim of informing and guiding the next generation of underemployment
research.
