Zusammenfassung

This book probes national and international regulatory responses to the much-discussed shift from full-time permanent jobs towards part-time, temporary and self-employment. It analyzes their implications for workers most often precariously employed, particularly women and migrants, using illustrations from Australia, the US, Canada, and EU states.

Managing the Margins Zusammenfassung

Managing the Margins: Gender, Citizenship, and the International Regulation of Precarious Employment Leah F. Vosko (Professor of Political Science and Canada Research Chair in Feminist Political Economy, York University)

This book explores the precarious margins of contemporary labour markets. Over the last few decades, there has been much discussion of a shift from full-time permanent jobs to higher levels of part-time and temporary employment and self-employment. Despite such attention, regulatory approaches have not adapted accordingly. Instead, in the absence of genuine alternatives, old regulatory models are applied to new labour market realities, leaving the most precarious forms of employment intact. The book places this disjuncture in historical context and focuses on its implications for those most likely to be at the margins, particularly women and migrant workers. Managing the Margins provides a rigorous analysis drawing on original qualitative and quantitative material. It innovates by analyzing the historical and contemporary interplay of employment norms, gender relations, and citizenship boundaries.

Managing the Margins Bewertungen

An invaluable contribution... This integrated approach (linking citizenship, employment norms and gender relations) is so rare because it is so complex, and most significantly it allows us to think about labour market regulations in terms of the actors involved. * Work, Employment, and Society *
