Conclusions.This book offers a comparative exploration of the various disadvantages experienced by a category of atypical workers compared to standard employees, in the UK and Italy, and considers whether and how the differences can be attributed to contrasting institutional settings and political economies. Bertolini explores the lived experience of these workers, and demonstrates how institutional variables interact in complex ways with individual socio-demographic characteristics as well as the broader socio-economic context to shape individual disadvantages and engender different experiences of precariousness. Temporary Agency Workers in Italy and the UK will be of interest to students and scholars of political economy, sociology of work, welfare studies, labour market policy, and industrial relations.Work and Welfare in EuropeSocial policyIndustrial sociologyLabor economicsPolitical economyComparative Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33020Sociology of Workhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22240Labor Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000International Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140Social policy.Industrial sociology.Labor economics.Political economy.Comparative Social Policy.Sociology of Work.Labor Economics.International Political Economy.658.3128361.61Bertolini Alessioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut967138MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910399872503321Temporary Agency Workers in Italy and the UK2195578UNINA
