About the Book

Questions of work are hotly discussed both among politicians and researchers. We live in a period in which the organization of work changes, people's attitudes to work changes and the relations between work and non-work changes - and in which unemployment rates seem to be the only phenomenon that does not seem to change drastically. The authors of the book set out to discuss "work - quo vadis?". It is divided into three parts; " work, society, welfare", "Work, family, gender", "work, technology, organization", which indicates the aspects of the questions that are covered. Prominant questions are: Has wage labour had its day? and what new forms of work are needed? The authors also suggest ways to renew working life.
