Will "making a living" remain a dream for the deprived and
excluded? Jobs are one of Europe's most important problems.
Employment provides the basic means of distributing wealth in
society, in providing for families, and ensuring pensions for the
elderly. Yet unemployment, and increasingly "non-employment",
continues at near record levels in the European Union. This text
shows how the culture of work has been transformed in the
industrialized nations of the EU. Exploring the relationship
between employment change, society and economic restructuring, the
shift toward "flexible" work for women in services, away from
traditional industrial jobs for men, is demonstrated within three
key sectors - business services, retailing and tourism. The outcome
of change is discussed in terms of shifts of people and jobs from
urban to rural areas. Europe must be understood in the context of
the new Europe, of change in the USA and of global change. Drawing
on examples from UK and European regions and USA, the author
challenges long-standing assumptions about changes in economy and
society and highlights the need for stronger local and European
policies to reduce inequality at large and contribute

Authored by academics and practitioners this exciting new book
takes a problem based approach to regeneration management. The
challenges facing those involved with regeneration are many and
varied, this book provides the tools and techniques, using a
mixture of rigorous academic theory and practical insights, to
enable any reader to gain insights into this important subject. The
editors provide a framework within which the practical difficulties
facing those engaged in the process of regeneration face. Drawing
upon a breadth of experience both in practice and in academia the
contributors present the gaps and challenges within regeneration
management. Written in an engaging style this comprehensive book
examines how issues of ethics, equality, sustainability, local
governance, civic renewal and learning are addressed, within the
areas of social and economic development and transformation. All of
these have real and significant implications for the ways in which
regeneration initiatives are put together (in their design,
development and delivery), the skills and learning needs of
practitioners and the ways in which initiatives are then managed
and led. This is a must read for all those with an interest in
regeneration.
