20年来，欧洲的工作质量一直优于美国的工作，如今，欧洲研究人员开始更加认真地审视自己国家的工作。欧盟委员会最近发布的欧洲就业报告强调，在各个行业，低工资或临时工作持续存在，甚至有所增长。然而，大多数研究都集中在低质量工作的供应方原因和补救措施上，即技能和培训。这本书通过研究需求方雇主的行为来填补这一令人钦佩的目标。尽管这本书的10个实质性章节中有两章总结了来自美国的证据，一章描述了经合组织国家作为一个整体的数据，但这本书主要是关于欧洲的工作。在这个框架内，分析是广泛的。具体章节考察了芬兰、法国、德国、瑞典和英国。本卷包括对横断面和纵向定量数据的研究，以及主要来自服务部门的个案研究。特别是，书中有五章考察了纵向劳动力市场数据，反映了这类研究最近的爆炸式增长。
After two decades in which European job quality has been consistently compared favourably with that of US jobs, European researchers are beginning to take a harder look at their own countries’ jobs. Recent European Commission Employment in Europe reports have spotlighted the persistence or even growth of low wage or temporary jobs in a variety of sectors. However, most research has focused on supply-side causes and remedies for low-quality jobs, namely skills and training. This volume takes on the admirable goal of filling out that picture by examining the demand side—employer behaviour.Although two of the book’s 10 substantive chapters summarize evidence from the United States and one describes data for OECD countries as a whole, this is primarily a book about work in Europe. Within that frame the analyses are wide-ranging. Specific chapters examine Finland, France, Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The volume includes studies of cross-sectional and longitudinal quantitative data, as well as case studies, primarily from the service sector. In particular, five of the chapters examine longitudinal labour market data, reflecting the recent explosion in such research.
