This book explores the precarious margins of contemporary labor
markets. Over the last few decades, there has been much discussion
of a shift from full-time permanent jobs to higher levels of
part-time and temporary employment and self-employment. Despite
such attention, regulatory approaches have not adapted accordingly.
Instead, in the absence of genuine alternatives, old regulatory
models are applied to new labour market realities, leaving the most
precarious forms of employment intact. The book places this
disjuncture in historical context and focuses on its implications
for workers most likely to be at the margins, particularly women
and migrants, using illustrations from Australia, the United
States, and Canada, as well as member states of the European Union.
Managing the Margins provides a rigorous analysis of national and
international regulatory approaches, drawing on original and
extensive qualitative and quantitative material. It innovates by
analyzing the historical and contemporary interplay of employment
norms, gender relations, and citizenship boundaries.
