- Offers an original and radical re-think of the state of the
global labour market.
- Argues against the oversimplified idea that the precariousness
of the Western labour market is a natural result of globalisation
and technological change, subjecting the transformation of work to
a closer and more nuanced analysis.
- Addresses some of the major political and economic issues
surrounding work today such as: the pension crisis, downsizing and
out-sourcing, the rise of the Chinese and Indian economies,
changing patterns of work, etc.
- Uses a wide variety of data as well as anecdotes –
written accessibly for a wide audience interested in market and
workplace transformations.
- Kevin Doogan was an expert witness to the Committee of Enquiry held by House of Lords’ Select on the European Union which looked at new European labour markets.
