Precarious Employment Understanding Labour Market Insecurity in Canada

This interdisciplinary volume offers a multifaceted picture of precarious employment and the ways in which its principal features are reinforced or challenged by laws, policies, and labour market institutions, including trade unions and community organizations. Contributors develop more fully the concept of precarious employment and critique outmoded notions of standard and non-standard employment. The product of a five-year Community-University Research Alliance, the volume aims to foster new social, statistical, legal, political, and economic understandings of precarious employment and to advance strategies for improving the quality and conditions of work and health.Vosko, Leah F. is the author of 'Precarious Employment Understanding Labour Market Insecurity in Canada', published 2007 under ISBN 9780773529625 and ISBN 0773529624.
