Nuevos tiempos del trabajo: Entre la flexibilidad competitiva de las empresas y las relaciones de género

by Carlos Prieto

Esta obra ofrece los principales resultados de una investigación empírica sobre los profundos cambios que, desde hace unas tres décadas, afectan, por un lado, a las relaciones de empleo y, por otro, a las relaciones de género. Sin que puedan separarse en el mundo de la realidad social, unas y otras se ven tensionadas por los requerimientos empresariales de uso flexible de la fuerza de trabajo y las nuevas modalidades de convivencia doméstica.

He has received enthusiastic public acclaim and won excellent reviews for his performances throughout the United States, Europe, Russia, China, India, and Latin America. The New York Times of his Carnegie Hall debut raved "Prieto has no technical limitations and his musical instincts are impeccable."
