This timely book explores job quality in contemporary labour markets, investigating how rapid transformations such as digitalisation, the green transition, fragmentation and shifting demographics are reshaping the world of work. Presenting fresh perspectives and updated tools to analyse challenges related to gig work, AI, algorithmic management, multiple jobholding and the environmental crisis, it reevaluates the definition of what makes a good job in the modern era.
Contributing authors build on insights from the capabilities approach, multiple deprivation and precarity to explore how gender, class, and migration status shape access to good-quality jobs, and how experiences of work differ according to socio-economic background and work arrangements. The book also expands the notion of job quality beyond individual well-being to include broader goals such as fairness, sustainability and social inclusion. Bridging disciplines and regions, it integrates theoretical and empirical insights with practical guidance to help improve job quality in an era of profound and ongoing transformation.
Job Quality in a Turbulent Era is an essential read for scholars and students of sociology, political science, employment relations, labour law and business. Offering conceptual and empirical insights this book is also an important resource for policymakers and practitioners concerned with labour market issues.
