This book, the second of two volumes, explores the transformations to the labour market observed since the offi cial end of the Cold War in 1991. This period is defi ned by the retreat of the state and a move towards more market-based economies, followed by a State comeback with the Great Recession. These bumpy decades for labour and changing labour policies are analysed thematically. The second volume focuses on labour earnings and inequality, underemployment, (in)decent work, and labour market policies. This book aims to examine how labour institutions, both in developed and developing countries, have responded to the challenges faced over the last 30 years. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in labour economics, political economy, and development economics.

La institucion universitaria cumple un papel fundamental dentro de una sociedad, en sus muy diferentes entornos, por tanto, es imperante que asi se reconozca para la formulacion de sus espacios academicos, con miras a la construccion de unos curriculos direccionados a la solucion de problemas sociales, a partir de la formacion de sus profesionales. La Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) por la cual deben optar las organizaciones del mundo, se debe propagar a partir de la formacion en los claustros universitarios, esta surge del modelo aprendido por los profesionales, desde la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU) de la institucion en la que se forma. Ante la necesidad actual de construccion de una sociedad incluyente y en equidad, la RSU de las instituciones universitarias, debe propender porque los profesionales desarrollen competencias en la comprension del papel que juegan dentro de las organizaciones y que los compromete con la proteccion de todas las formas de vida que existen en la naturaleza. La Bioetica Global, como disciplina cientifica, propone desde la formacion superior, crear espacios para que el estudiante universitario sea interprete del sentir social."
