This book contains the proceedings of the First International
Conference on Health Hazards and Challenges in the New Working
Life, held January 11-13, 1999, in Stockholm, Sweden. The
globalisation of the economies has enormous implications for work
and labour market structures. Demands for rapid adjustment and
flexibility can be perceived as threatening to the employees' need
for security and can cause ill health, but it is also important to
try to foresee the possible benefits that could result and the
constructive adaptations that individuals make. These changing
conditions raise new issues and research questions concerning
health consequences and people's actions and constructive
adaptation. The interdisciplinary research conference in Stockholm
on Health Hazards and Challenges in the New Working Life covered
areas such as health and social consequences of unemployment, job
insecurity, labour market constraints, flexibility in working
conditions, and new forms of employment relations and contracts.
The proceedings give an overview of the latest research results on
these issues, which will be of the utmost importance to working
life in the next millennium.The book presents a selection of
contributions from highly qualified researchers in psychology,
occupational health and sociology and covers three main sections:
unemployment and downsizing, flexibilization and stress, and
opportunities and constraints in the labour market. It provides an
excellent summary and overview of earlier research, together with
new findings about adaptation and actions among the unemployed, the
effects of new and changing employment contracts upon health, and
the polarization of the labour market and its exclusion of
vulnerable groups.
