While a large number of studies exist on political-economic
institutional explanations for the prevalence of precarious work,
few have delved into the elusive yet critical domain of culture.
This is highly pertinent to China and Japan whose shared tradition
of Confucianism (broadly defined) continues to inform many aspects
of society. In particular, core values such as hierarchy, harmony,
and the subordination of individual interests to collective
requirements impinge importantly on the iniquitous patterns of
precarious work and its surrounding institutions ranging from state
policy and legislation to industrial relations and social welfare.
The pervasiveness and entrenched nature of culture has been
especially evidenced by Japan's distinctly gendered and China's
rural-urban citizenship-based labour market stratifications. By
bridging culture and institutions, Temporary and Gig Economy
Workers in China and Japan brings a more integrated and nuanced
understanding of unequal work, casting fresh light on social change
in China, Japan, and beyond. Emphasis is placed not only on
macro-level structural scrutiny but also on micro-agency
empiricism, i.e. real people's experiences in everyday life. This
holistic and comparative approach, as demonstrated by the book,
will go a long way towards tackling the negative consequences of
precarious work in a wider post-pandemic world.
