Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
This book provides an overview of the facts and issues of nonstandard employment in the countries where this labor market phenomenon has been most studied: the United States, Japan, and the European Union.5 Although the authors have used nontechnical language for general readers who are not specialists in labor market analysis, scholars and human resource professionals also will find these essays of interest. The book presents a balanced perspective on the advantages and disadvantages of nonstandard employment arrangements from the viewpoint of employers and employees; it does not advocate a particular philosophical perspective. Chapters 2 through 6 focus on the United States, while Chapters 7 through 9 focus on Japan and Europe. The final chapter summarizes the future directions for research identified by the authors.
