Let's Get to Work! The Future of Labour in Europe. Volume 1

Work is both an essential part of our daily lives and one of the major policy concerns across Europe. Yet public debate on labor issues is all too often driven by political rhetoric and short-term concerns. In this volume, researchers from seven European countries explain, in accessible language, the findings from various social science studies and what they mean for the future of labor in Europe. The conclusions that they reach are addressed to policymakers, business people, journalists, fellow academics, and anyone interested in the shape, size, and character of the labor markets of tomorrow.
