Title: Workers Without Traditional Employment
Subtitle: An International Study of Non-standard Work
Description: "Workers Without Traditional Employment aims to provide a comprehensive and global analysis of the significant changes in employment relationships that have occurred over the last two decades. The author discusses the incidence, causes, and social and economic implications of non-standard employment. Shifts in the nature of employment are placed within the wider context of modern labour markets seeking to cope with rapid changes in international business practice and the pressures of a globalised economy. The book argues that while much non-standard employment has country-specific aspects, there exists a common set of underlying factors influencing the spread of non-standard employment across the world.

The final part of the book deals with the implications of employment change for work/family interaction and examines likely future trends." "This book will be invaluable reading for academics and researchers in economics, business and industrial relations as well as social scientists and professionals within the business world."--Jacket.
