Autonomy and self determination are considered as a fundamental basis for human dignity and are also called on whenever we talk about a humane way of life and fair working conditions. But under which circumstances do people actually earn a living, or, in other words, what do they take on to make sure that they survive? Many people are trapped in living situations that leave little room for personal development. Precarious working conditions are spreading and spreading, social security is turning into a variable and at the same time our capitalist world of products and services never stops creating new consumer stress.
