Work and Society: A Reader

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book provides a lively and accessible introduction to key new areas in the contemporary study of work. While traditional accounts of work have tended to focus upon male manual workers in factories, recent developments have shifted the notions of what counts as work, what work is, and where it takes place. This topical book takes up these developments, broadening our understanding of work. Complementing the second edition of Grint`s successful Sociology of Work textbook, this book is divided into five parts, each of which explores recent developments in the theory and practice of work. The wide range of substantive areas covered includes domestic work, globalization, gender, resistance, child labour and labour relations. The theoretical approaches incorporate theories of technology, time, identity, change and discipline. The authors include some of the leading international writers in their fields today, such as Stephen Barley, John Hassard, Bruno Latour and Judy Wajcman,… [detailed...]

Robert M. Solow, Amy Gutmann
Work and Welfare

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Solow directs his attention here to one of today`s most controversial social issues: how to get people off welfare and into jobs. With characteristic eloquence, wit, and rigor, Solow condemns the welfare reforms recently passed by Congress and President Clinton for confronting welfare recipients with an unworkable choice--finding work in the current labor market or losing benefits. He argues that the only practical and fair way to move recipients to work is, in contrast, through an ambitious plan to guarantee that every able-bodied citizen has access to a job. Solow contends that the demand implicit in the 1996 Welfare Reform Act for welfare recipients to find work in the existing labor market has two crucial flaws. First, the labor market would not easily make room for a huge influx of unskilled, inexperienced workers. Second, the normal market adjustment to that influx would drive down earnings for those already in low-wage jobs. Solow… [detailed...]

This book offers a comprehensive review of the key issues in the production//consumption debate, and where it might lead in the future.

Work, Family, Health, and Well-being

Description: Book DescriptionWork, Family, Health, and Well-Being grew out of a conference held in Washington, D.C. in June 2003 on `Workforce/Workplace Mismatch: Work, Family, Health, and Well-Being` sponsored by the National Institute of Health (NIH). The text considers multiple dimensions of health and well-being for workers and their families, children, and communities. The health of the individual worker is likely intimately related to the health of the worker`s family. Investigations into the socioeconomic gradient in health within broad occupational categories have raised important questions about the role of specific working conditions versus the role of conditions of employment such as wages and level of job security afforded a worker and his/her family in affecting health outcomes. Organized into seven parts, this text: *provides an overview of changes in work and family time and time use, *dedicates a section focusing specifically on employers and workplaces, … [detailed...]
