Recent years have witnessed major changes to the workplace across
Europe. The speed of these changes requires constant monitoring and
reappraisal. In this book, recent trends are analyzed and their
consequences discussed, within a socio-historical context which
also reveals underlying patterns of continuity. The trends analyzed
include: the presence of high rates of endemic unemployment and
underemployment, particularly amongst the young the growth of
insecure and precarious employment sweeping changes to the
regulation of and organization of work the diminution in the
availability of manual work and the growth of white-collar
service-sector jobs the growing participation of women in paid
employment the introduction of new organizational forms and new
forms of management the accelerating use of IT the growth in demand
for educational and vocational qualifications by employers the
increasing influence of European legislation on work, retirement,
health, safety, etc the growing importance of voluntary-sector work
The contributors to the volume present both primary research and a
wide-ranging survey and analysis of recent major contributions in
the field. Detailed empirical material is included from Belgium,
Finland, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the EU
more generally. Thus, the book aims to provide a current overview
of the nature of work from a pan-European perspective, illuminated
by up-to-the-minute field research.
