Description: What Do We Know and What Should We Do About The Future of Work? is part of a new book series offering short, up-to-date overviews of key issues often misrepresented or simplified in the mainstream media.
Brief description:
Melanie Simms, Professor of Work and Employment, University of Glasgow, UK. She writes widely on the topic of work and employment with a particular interest in two main areas: how workers get to influence changes at work, and how young people move into the labour market after education.
Review Quotes: Simms' intelligent delve into the labour market and its economic effects is an excellent summary of why and how we work. But it also points out some unexpected truths - that most people work in the same way they would have 50 years ago, for example, or that the car wash industry demonstrates automation is far from inevitable.--People Management magazine
