Flexibility and Stability in Working Life

by Bengt Furåker (Editor), Kristina Håkansson (Editor), Jan Ch. Karlsson (Editor)

Flexibility has become a key concept in discourses on developments in working life. However, it is an ambiguous concept in several ways, and theoretical clarity is lacking. Further, large parts of the literature are prescriptive and ideological rather than empirical and analytical. This book contributes both theoretically and empirically to expound the importance of clearer concepts in the national and international debates on economic systems, labour markets, work organisations, and experiences of work.
