Precarious employment presents a monumental challenge to the
social, economic, and political stability of labour markets in
industrialized societies and there is widespread consensus that its
growth is contributing to a series of common social inequalities,
especially along the lines of gender and citizenship.
The editors argue that these inequalities are evident at the
national level across industrialized countries, as well as at the
regional level within federal societies, such as Canada, Germany,
the United States, and Australia and in the European Union. This
book brings together contributions addressing this issue which
include case studies exploring the size, nature, and dynamics of
precarious employment in different industrialized countries and
chapters examining conceptual and methodological challenges in the
study of precarious employment in comparative perspective.
The collection aims to yield new ways of understanding,
conceptualizing, measuring, and responding, via public policy and
other means such as new forms of union organization and community
organizing at multiple scales to the forces driving labour market
insecurity.
