Work occupies a pivotal role in the daily activities and over the
course of a lifetime of members of modern societies. In
anticipation, work influ ences education and training; it has much
to do with shaping current earned income and status in the
community; and in retrospect, it influ ences retirement income and
activities. It is a powerful force affecting personal associations.
In our society work is deeply encased in moral and religious
values: As Poor Richard says, A Life of Leisure and a Life of
Laziness are two Things. Do you imagine that Sloth will afford you
more Comfort than Labour? No, for as Poor Richard says: ...
Industry gives Comfort, and Plenty and Respect. Study to show
thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed.
But few words have as many different meanings and nuances as
"work": to forge or to shape, to stir or to knead, to solve, to
exploit, to practice trickery for some end, to excite or to
provoke, to persuade or to influence, to toil, and the like. A need
for precision in meaning is requisite with respect to work, not
only in common discourse, but, even more so, in scholarly
communication.
A distinguished roster of contributors considers the state of the
art of the field at the turn of the 21st century and charts an
ambitious agenda for the future. Following what the editors
describe as an 'evolutionist' approach to the study of labor
markets, the chapters address issues of continuity and
discontinuity in a wide range of topics including: markets and
institutional structures; employment relations and work structures;
patterns of stratification in the United States; and public
policies, opportunity structures, and economic outcomes.
