Social Change and Innovation in the Labour Market

This pathbreaking study examines some key developments in the nature and pattern of work in the UK. Drawing on recently released data from the British 1991 Census, the author offers fresh insights on issues such as the degree of gender segregation in occupations and workplaces, the nature of trends towards self-employment and home-working, and the diverse nature of part-time work. The book also presents comparisons with research results for the USA and other Western European countries.
