Globalization, argue the contributors to this book, has remarkably
accelerated social and economic change in modern societies. One
such change is manifested in the world of work and careers. This
book explores whether the forces of globalization affect the
erosion of standard career patterns of mid-career men in twelve
OECD countries. Overwhelming evidence against the
'individualization of inequality' thesis is provided - it is argued
that equality remains largely stratified by factors such as
occupational class and educational level, and in some countries has
even grown over time.The contributors illustrate that globalization
appears to have influenced the rise of 'patchwork' careers in
countries where workers have been increasingly less protected by
institutional configurations. These countries include Denmark,
Mexico, The Netherlands, the UK and the US, as well as
post-socialistic countries such as Hungary, Estonia and the Czech
Republic. Interestingly, there is no evidence that men's careers
have become more erratic in Italy, Spain, Sweden or Germany.
Nation-specific institutions, such as welfare regimes, education
and training systems and employment relations remain key factors
impacting on job mobility patterns. Using empirical evidence to
demonstrate how different policy approaches impact on the
employment careers of individuals, this book will be invaluable to
academics, students, researchers, practitioners and policymakers
seeking to understand the effects of international social change on
national contexts.
