Globalisation, the shift from manufacturing to services as a source
of employment, and the spread of information-based systems and
technologies have given birth to a new economy, which emphasises
flexibility in the labour market and in employment relations. These
changes have led to the erosion of the standard (industrial)
employment relationship and an increase in precarious work - work
which is poorly paid and insecure. Women perform a disproportionate
amount of precarious work. This collection of original essays by
leading scholars on labour law and women's work explores the
relationship between precarious work and gender, and evaluates the
extent to which the growth and spread of precarious work challenges
traditional norms of labour law and conventional forms of legal
regulation.The book provides a comparative perspective by
furnishing case studies from Australia, Canada, the Netherlands,
Quebec, Sweden, the UK, and the US, as well as the international
and supranational context through essays that focus on the IMF, the
ILO, and the EU. Common themes and concepts thread throughout the
essays, which grapple with the legal and public policy challenges
posed by women's precarious work.
