Sommario/riassunto

Published by the Publisher of the Federal University of Bahia (EDUFBA), this book, written in many hands, reveals to the reader the results of the successful partnership between UESB and the Faced Graduate Program in Education - UFBA in teacher training , aimed at improving the quality of teaching, the production of socially relevant knowledge and responsible social action. The results of “Teacher Training and Social Responsibility: multidisciplinary contributions”, even if still very recent, show that it is possible to overcome the development asymmetries between regions and higher education institutions, with regard to teacher training, in the creation and consolidation of research groups, in the expansion and strengthening of undergraduate and graduate courses, necessary for the development of higher education.

Sommario/riassunto

"Low-Wage Work in the Wealthy World builds on an earlier Russell Sage Foundation study (Low-Wage America) to compare the plight of low-



wage workers in the United States to five European countries - Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom - where wage supports, worker protections, and social benefits have generally been stronger. By examining low-wage jobs in systematic case studies across five industries, this international study goes well beyond standard statistics to reveal national differences in the quality of low-wage work and the well-being of low-wage workers."--BOOK JACKET.
