Annotation: This empirically rich volume presents a comparative study of the way that new forms of work are used and becoming institutionalized in various regions in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Using a comparative framework, this new volume focuses on how non-standard employment can be regulated in very different social, political and institutional settings. After surveying these new forms of work and the new demands for labor-market regulation, the authors identify possible solutions among local-level actors and provide a detailed analysis of how firms assess the advantages and disadvantages of flexible forms of employment. The collected authors provide six detailed case studies to examine the successes and failures of experimental approaches and social innovation to these new forms of employment in various regions in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
This book will be of great interest to sociologists, political scientists, industrial relations experts, policy-makers, representativesof the social partners, students of labor studies, and to all those interested in new approaches to employment protection.
