Conclusions. 330 $aPrecarity is a key theme in political discourse, in media and academic discussions of employment, and within the labour movement. Often, the prevailing idea is of an endless march of precarity, rendering work ever more contingent and workers ever more disposable. However, this detailed study of the UK labour force challenges the picture of rising precarity and widespread use of temporary employment, suggesting instead that employment tenure and the extent of temporary work have proved stubbornly stable over the past four decades. Choonara offers a new approach to labour markets, drawing on the theoretical underpinnings of Marxist political economy to interrogate research data from the UK. This book examines why, despite the deteriorating conditions in work, employment relations have remained stable, and offers insight into the extent of subjective insecurity among workers. Insecurity, Precarious Work and Labour Markets will be of use to students and scholars across the sociology of work, labour economics, industrial relations and political economy. 606 $aIndustrial sociology 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aPolitical economy 606 $aSociology of Work$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22240 606 $aLabor Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 615 0$aIndustrial sociology. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aPolitical economy. 615 14$aSociology of Work. 615 24$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy. 676 $a331.10941 676 $a331.137941 700 $aChoonara$b Joseph$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063382 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367615703321 996 $aInsecurity, Precarious Work and Labour Markets$92532004 997 $aUNINA
