The unique study reviews employment conditions in Asia and the Pacific in the context of globalization and increasing pressure towards flexibilization. It places a strong focus on the diverging experiences of individual workers in their employment conditions, such as employment status, wages, working time and work organization, in the context of a changing labour market.
Along with thematic studies concerning the role of trade union rights, labour market reforms and regulation of working conditions, this book includes country studies carried out within a common research framework for a more rigorous comparison in the region. These country-specific chapters address the timely issues of flexibility and non-standard employment, the ceconomic pressures of globalization and their impact on workers, and working conditions in economies in transition.
This book is aimed at policy-makers, academics and students of labour economics, industrial relations and human resource management at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
