The Flexibility Paradox - Why Flexible Working Leads to (Self-)Exploitation (Paperback): Heejung Chung The Flexibility Paradox - Why Flexible Working Leads to (Self-)Exploitation (Paperback)
Heejung Chung
R809 Discovery Miles 8 090 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Does flexible working really provide a better work-life balance? Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, flexible working has become the norm for many workers. This volume offers an original examination of flexible working using data from 30 European countries and drawing on studies conducted in Australia, the US and India. Rather than providing a better work-life balance, the book reveals how flexible working can lead to exploitation, which manifests differently for women and men, such as more care responsibilities or increased working hours. Taking a critical stance, this book investigates the potential risks and benefits of flexible working and provides crucial policy recommendations for overcoming the negative consequences.

After Austerity - Welfare State Transformation in Europe after the Great Recession (Hardcover): Peter Taylor-Gooby, Benjamin... After Austerity - Welfare State Transformation in Europe after the Great Recession (Hardcover)
Peter Taylor-Gooby, Benjamin Leruth, Heejung Chung
R2,930 Discovery Miles 29 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

European welfare states are undergoing profound change, driven by globalization, technical changes, and population ageing. More immediately, the aftermath of the Great Recession and unprecedented levels of immigration have imposed additional pressures. This book examines welfare state transformations across a representative range of European countries and at the EU level, and considers likely new directions in social policy. It reviews the dominant neo-liberal austerity response and discusses social investment, fightback, welfare chauvinism, and protectionism. It argues that the class solidarities and cleavages that shaped the development of welfare states are no longer powerful. Tensions surrounding divisions between old and young, women and men, immigrants and denizens, and between the winners in a new, more competitive, world and those who feel left behind are becoming steadily more important. European countries have entered a period of political instability and this is reflected in policy directions. Austerity predominates nearly everywhere, but patterns of social investment, protectionism, neo-Keynesian intervention, and fightback vary between countries. The volume identify areas of convergence and difference in European welfare state futures in this up-to-date study - essential reading to grasp the pace and directions of change.
