The Sociology of Education and Work is a clear and engaging study of the links between schooling and the workplace in modern society.

• Examines links between schooling and the modern workplace, from a sociological perspective.
• Combines and analyzes theory and studies in the sociology of education and the sociology of work.
• Includes case studies to illustrate conclusions drawn from a combined study of education and work.
• Written in a concise, readable format for students.
