1. A new labour market segmentation approach for analysing inequalities: introduction and overview --part I: Conceptual issues: employment standards, networks and worker voice --2. Autonomous bargaining in the shadow of the law: from an enabling towards a disabling state? --3. The persistence of, and challenges to, societal effects in the context of global competition --4. The networked organisation: implications for jobs and inequality --5. The challenges for fair voice in liberal market economies --6. Working-time flexibility: diversification and the rise of fragmented time systems --part II: International evidence: precarious employment and gender inequality --7. Labour segmentation and precariousness in Spain: theories and evidence --8. Subsidiary employment in Italy: can commodification of labour be self-limiting? --9. Job quality: conceptual and methodological challenges for comparative analysis --10. Working longer and harder? A critical assessment of work effort in Britain in comparison to Europe --11. Plague, patriarchy and ‘girl power’ --12. The two-child policy in China: a blessing or a curse for the employment of female university graduates? --part III: Convergence, divergence and



the importance of regulating for decent work --13. The social reproduction of youth labour market inequalities: the effects of gender, households and ethnicity --14. Labour policies in a deflationary environment --15. Uncertainty and undecidability in the contemporary state: the dualist and complex role of the state in Spanish labour and employment relations in an age of ‘flexibility’ --16. Work and care regimes and women’s employment outcomes: Australia, France and Sweden compared --17. Minimum wages and the remaking of the wage-setting systems in Greece and the UK --Index.

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents new theories and international empirical evidence on the state of work and employment around the world. Changes in production systems, economic conditions and regulatory conditions are posing new questions about the growing use by employers of precarious forms of work, the contradictory approaches of governments towards employment and social policy, and the ability of trade unions to improve the distribution of decent employment conditions. The book proposes a 'new labour market segmentation approach' for the investigation of issues of job quality, employment inequalities, and precarious work. This approach is distinctive in seeking to place the changing international patterns and experiences of labour market inequalities in the wider context of shifting gender relations, regulatory regimes and production structures.

Sommario/riassunto

This open access book presents a collection of the most up-to-date research results in the field of steel development with a focus on pioneering alloy concepts that result in previously unattainable



materials properties. Specifically, it gives a detailed overview of the marriage of high-performance steels of the highest strength and form-ability with damage-tolerant zirconia ceramics by innovative manufacturing technologies, thereby yielding a new class of high-performance composite materials. This book describes how new high-alloy stainless TRIP/TWIP steels (TRIP: TRansformation-Induced Plasticity, TWIP: TWinning-induced Plasticity) are combined with zirconium dioxide ceramics in powder metallurgical routes and via melt infiltration to form novel TRIP-matrix composites. This work also provides a timely perspective on new compact and damage-tolerant composite materials, filigree light-weight structures as well as gradient materials, and a close understanding of the mechanisms of the phase transformations. With a detailed application analysis of state-of-the-art methods in spatial and temporal high-resolution structural analysis, in combination with advanced simulation and modelling, this edited volume is ideal for researchers and engineers working in modern steel development, as well as for graduate students of metallurgy and materials science and engineering.
