Opis

The rapid pace of industrial restructuring and the emergence of new employment policies have focused attention on the role of employers in determining the quantity and quality of employment. This book draws on important new data from the ESRC's Social Change and Economic Life Initiative to test, modify, and challenge much of the current academic literature on the determinants of employer policy and how these influence employment structures and individual employment opportunities.

Recenzje

This is a fascinating and most useful book ... One thing that makes this book especially significant is the use of extensive survey material of UK firms ... the volume should become a prominent landmark in the wide literature on these topics. The book clearly demonstrates that in some key respects our thinking has to change, especially concerning fundamental theoretical assumptions ... The volume under review can be regarded as an important contribution to this tradition. It is strongly recommended.
