Vosko's important new book examines a number of important trends, including the commodification of labour power; the decline of the full-time, full-year job as a norm; and the gendered character of prevailing employment relationships. Spanning the period from the late nineteenth to the late twentieth century, Temporary Work traces the evolution of the temporary employment relationship in Canada and places it in an international context. It explores how, and to what extent, 'temporary work' is becoming a norm for a diverse group of workers in the labour market, taking gender as a central lens of analysis.Recent scholarship emphasizes that the nature of work is changing, citing the spread of non-standard forms of employment and the rise in women's participation in the labour force. Vosko confirms that important changes are indeed taking place in the labour market, but argues that these changes are best understood in historical, economic and political contexts. This book will be invaluable to academics in a variety of disciplines as well as to policy analysts and practitioners. 410 0$aStudies in comparative political economy and public policy ;$v11. 606 $aTemporary employment$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSexual division of labor$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen$xEmployment$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTemporary employment$xHistory 615 0$aSexual division of labor$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xEmployment$xHistory 676 $a331.25/72 700 $aVosko$b Leah F.$0875377 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456542303321 996 $aTemporary work$92451831 997 $aUNINA
