Tackling precarious work has been described by the United Nations
(UN)’s International Labour Organization (ILO) as the main
challenge facing the world of work. In this ground-breaking book,
leading applied research scholars, advocates, and activists from
across the globe respond to this challenge by showing how
Industrial and Organizational (I/O) psychology has a significant
contribution to make in humanity moving away from precarious work
situations towards sustainable livelihoods. Broken down into four
key parts on Sustainable Livelihoods, Fair Incomes, Work Security
and Social Protection, the book covers a multitude of topics
including the role of poor pay, lack of work-related security,
social protection for human health and wellbeing, and interventions
and policies to implement for the future of work. The volume offers
a detailed look into useful and effective ways to tackle precarious
work to create and maintain sustainable livelihoods. This curated
collection of 22 chapters considers the broader relationships
between previous research work and issues of human security and
sustainability that affect workers, families, communities, and
societies. Each chapter expands the present understandings of the
world of precarious work and how it fits within broader issues of
economic, ecological, and social sustainability. In addition to I/O
psychologists in research, practice, service and study, this book
will also be useful for organizational researchers, labor unions,
HR practitioners, fair trade, cooperative, and civil society
organizations, social scientists, human security analysts, public
health professionals, economists, and supporters of the UN SDGs,
including at the UN.

Breast augmentation is made possible by the intersections of
dominant understandings and practices of gender, medicine and
consumerism. In contemporary western world societies, the female
breast is increasingly drawn into medicalized processes of
commodification. Through practices of breast augmentation, the
breast is able to be exchanged and transformed. The breast as a
commodity is understood and (re)produced as a cultural object of
femininity. Dominant understandings of femininity not only shape
constructions of subjectivities for women but also act to normalize
wider social arrangements. This book explores the discursive
understandings that surround practices of breast augmentation at
the site of cosmetic surgery websites in New Zealand. Online breast
augmentation was represented in ways that indicated the processes
of breast augmentation hold in place dominant notions of
femininity. These notions of femininity were drawn upon to
construct women as their bodies, and their bodies as idealized
objects. As such, ideas of femininity reproduced in these websites
worked to limit possibilities of choice for women in practices of
breast augmentation in contemporary New Zealand society
