The emerging world of virtual work is not tied to physical
workplaces or particular locations, but is dispersed and footloose.
It is frequently precarious, and blurs the boundaries between work
and non-work, production and consumption. Contributors to this
wide-ranging volume of case studies identify the growing and
diverse army of virtual workers. Building from an overarching
introduction which discusses the salient features of virtual work,
this collection considers the challenges in analysing the class
position of virtual workers. Virtual Workers and the Global Labour
Market features international examples of emerging occupations and
working conditions in new media, gaming, journalism, advertising
and branding, software development and offshore services.
Cross-disciplinary insights from across the social sciences inform
contributions on labour market entry, employment relations,
precariousness, the dynamics of virtual teams, and cyberbullying,
in order to illustrate the diversity of virtual work, its
circumstances and its labour force.
