{"product_id":"flexible-employment-shirley-dex-9780333682142","title":"Flexible Employment: The Future of Britain's Jobs","description":"Many employed men and women now hold self-employed, part-time or temporary jobs. Such jobs have been increasing since the 1970s. This book examines the implications for employers, individuals and households of this development. The lack of fringe benefits, job security and employment rights for these flexible jobs are described as well as the effects on the mental health of individuals. The view that flexible jobs are necessary for an efficient economy is questioned. Britain is relatively unique in Europe in promoting low-quality flexible jobs which fail to use the skills of its workforce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley Dex,Andrew McCulloch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0333682149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780333682142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Shirley Dex","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47421398712575,"sku":"9780333682142","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93d4c9ad-1fb2-434b-849f-84b8a494dea3.jpg?v=1761526838","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flexible-employment-shirley-dex-9780333682142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
