Regulating New Forms of Employment - Local Experiments and Social Innovation in Europe (Hardcover, New)

In recent years new forms of employment, including arrangements such as: part-time, temporary and fixed-term employment; temporary agency work; self-employment; distance and teleworking, have sprung up at local and regional levels throughout the world. Using a comparative framework, this empirically rich volume focuses on how non-standard employment can be regulated in very different social, political and institutional settings. After surveying these new forms of work and the new demands for labour-market regulation, the authors identify possible solutions among local-level actors and provide a detailed analysis of how firms assess the advantages and disadvantages of flexible forms of employment. The authors provide six detailed case studies to examine the successes and failures of experimental approaches and social innovation in various regions in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. industrial relations experts, policy-makers, representatives of the social partners, students of labour studies, and also to all those interested in new approaches to employment protection in a more unstructure and flexible productive and occupational system.
