This open access book addresses the important and neglected
question of older workers who are excluded from the labour market.
It challenges post-capitalist discourses of active ageing with a
focus on restrictive end-of-career and retirement measures. The
book demonstrates how a paradigm shift is generating real processes
of exclusion for important sectors of the population. By providing
strong empirical evidence from different contexts, the impact of
different life course trajectories on the risks and the
opportunities at the end of career are demonstrated. The
organisation of workplace and institutional frameworks which
reinforce inequalities are also presented. As such the book is an
essential reading for students, academics and policy makers who
seek to understand how exclusion processes operate to the
disadvantage of older workers in the labour market.
This book looks at the history of work and the meanings that are
attached to it over time. Taking as its basis a number of
international surveys and interviews conducted in Europe, the
authors consider the significance of work for Europeans today. Over
the years the meaning of work has changed. It has become more
highly diversified, and it is today invested with high expectations
that conflict with organisational developments and the changing
nature of the labour market. The authors use a generational
perspective to explore whether it is possible to reconcile the
contemporary "ethos" of work, especially with regards to women and
young people, with organisations that are increasingly under
pressure to be profitable and productive. Reinventing Work in
Europe will be of interest to scholars and students in the areas of
sociology of work, employment and organizations, labour studies,
digital economy, and political economy.
