Putting the  redistribution of employment on the policy agenda opens up debate on  how to ensure a more equitable and fulfilling relationship between the  ways we gain our livelihoods and the lives we lead. \u003cbr\u003e  Growing insecurity in labour markets and changing patterns in the  commodification of labour have led to a redistribution of paid and  unpaid labour time as the structure of power relations, the gender  order, discrimination, and state regulation have been modified. The  first main trend affecting insecurity is mass unemployment and the  growth of workless households. A second notable trend is a  gender-based redistribution of hours worked. The third major trend is  a shift from full-time waged work to full-time self-employment. \u003cbr\u003e  Part I of this book presents the main economic theories driving the  continuing divide between the intensification of work and the  extension of idleness. Part II documents the ways in which the shift  to mass idleness in advanced industrial countries has hit some groups  particularly hard: the youngest and oldest age groups and other  groups, including disabled workers, have traditionally been subject to  discrimination in the labor markets. Part III provides a set of policy  prescriptions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792383901\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4397-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 329\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311823736972,"sku":"9780792383901","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792383901.jpg?v=1771512570","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792383901","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
