β¦ Synopsis
Labor market, work and economic development policy visions in many developed countries have been dominated in recent years by a fixation on skills. However, skill and skill development alone is not enough to harmonize societies, transform economies, galvanize organizations, and fulfil individuals.Β Β This book discusses the impact of government policy, other institutional arrangements, organizational practices, collective and individual behavior, on things of importance to many of us: work, employment, pay, work environments, learning, participation and voice. It is a unique volume of insights from leading researchers and research centers in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
