Nonstandard Work in Developed Economies: Causes and Consequences - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Twelve papers, presented by Houseman (a senior economist at the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research) and Osawa (economics, Japan Women's U.), comparatively examine the character and extent of temporary and part-time employment in developed economies. A number of the papers acknowledge the predominant place of women in nonstandard employment by focusing on women's work arrangements in the United States and Japan. Other papers concentrate more on the impact of regulatory frameworks on the growth or decline of nonstandard employment. Also discussed are such topics as work attitudes, employment choice, pay differences, and labor market conditions. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
