The Struggle Over Work
The 'End of Work' and Employment Alternatives in Post-Industrial Societies
By Shaun Wilson
Published June 10th 2004 by Routledge – 248 pages
Description
The future of work in advanced industrial democracies is the subject of intense debate and public concern. Despite predictions that working hours would fall and leisure time would rise as society progressed, the opposite has in fact occurred. This new book contains a twofold investigation into 'the end of work' with theoretical and policy angles contributing to the growing research field on the boundaries of economics and sociology.
