Insecurity, Precarious Work and Labour Markets

More about the book

Challenging the narrative of increasing precarity in the UK labor force, this study examines employment trends over the last 40 years. It argues that despite common perceptions, the stability of employment tenure and the prevalence of temporary work have remained consistent, countering the notion that workers are becoming more disposable. By analyzing political discourse and labor movement dynamics, the book offers a nuanced perspective on employment conditions, encouraging a reevaluation of the current understanding of labor precarity.
