In this long-awaited book, Ursula Huws brings together the results
of decades of prescient research on labour market transformation to
provide an authoritative overview of the impacts of technological,
economic, social and political change on working life in the 21st
century. Placing current upheavals in global labour markets firmly
in their historical context, she debunks myths about the impacts of
artificial intelligence on labour, pointing to the processes
whereby new employment is created, as well as old jobs destroyed,
while never underestimating the contradictory impacts of
digitalisation on work organisation, resistance, adaption and
innovation. This book is underpinned by a clear conceptual
framework, that analyses the dynamics of the restructuring of
capitalism and labour, taking full account of unpaid social
reproductive work, and integrating a feminist analysis whilst also
pointing to new forms of commodification that will shape the
future. Labour in Contemporary Capitalism will be an invaluable
resource and point of reference for students and scholars studying
the sociology of labour, economic structures, technology, and
globalisation.
