The Handbook for the Future of Work offers a timely and critical analysis of the transformative forces shaping work and employment in the twenty-first century.

Focusing on the past two decades, the handbook explores how technological advancements, automation and a shifting capitalist landscape have fundamentally reshaped work practices and labour relations. Beyond simply outlining the challenges and opportunities of automation, the handbook integrates these emerging realities with established discussions of work. Importantly, it moves beyond dominant technology-centric narratives, probing into broader questions about the nature of capitalism in a time of crisis and the contestation for alternative economic models. With contributions from established and emerging authors, based in institutions around the world, the handbook offers a systematic overview of the developments that have sparked radical shifts in how we live and work, and their multifaceted impacts upon social relations and identities, practices and sectors, politics and environments.

The handbook is unique in its exploration of the potential for economic transformations to reshape the centrality of work in our social and political imaginaries. A useful resource for students and researchers, the handbook serves as an essential guide to this new intellectual landscape.

Arvustused

"Develops a sophisticated approach that explores the ongoing interdependencies between pasts, presents and futures of work as these play out at the intersection of technological advancements, geopolitical realignments and evolving worker demands. In doing so, this book opens-up rather than closes-down the future of work - both as a topic for research and an opportunity for contestation."

Professor Susan Halford, University of Bristol

"A rich, insightful and provocative examination of disruptive histories and futures of work. The interdisciplinary, international approaches challenge established boundaries of analysis and explanation. Emerging working practices, differentiated experiences, global political challenges and environmental concerns shape the kaleidoscopic understanding of change and the potential role for agency in that process. A welcome pleasure and provocation to read you will learn something and it will make you think again."

Professor Jacqueline O'Reilly, ESRC Centre for Digital Futures at Work, University of Sussex

This handbook provides an innovative and valuable antidote to mainstream and strictly quantitative analyses of work and employment in the 21st century. Moving beyond technological determinism and unreflective speculation, it is critical, inter-disciplinary, theoretically rich, substantively diverse, and ultimately indispensable for scholars wishing to understand the present and future of work.

Professor Michael Samers, Department of Geography, University of Kentucky

"Ambitious, open-minded, and comprehensive, The Handbook for the Future of Work offers a catalogue of emerging realities for working people. Intrigued by technological change and troubled by socio-ecological crises, the volume insists on the possibilities of different trajectories. Spanning continents, sectors, and intellectual viewpoints, this is a truly remarkable effort."

Professor David Jordhus-Lier, Department of Sociology and Human Geography, University of Oslo
