Author Description

The Politics Of Unpaid Labour Introduces The Theory Of The Politics Of Unpaid Labour To Advance Understanding Of Inequality Within The Context Of Precarious Work. It Understands Unpaid Labour As The Time And Effort People Invest To Undertake Tasks Which Relate To The Work Implicitly Or Explicitly Assigned To Them, But For Which They Are Not Paid. The Book Establishes A Crucial Link Between Unpaid Labour's Political Dimensions And Its Role In Fuelling Emerging Forms Of Precarious Work Characterized By Persistent Inequalities In A Context Of Labour Market Reforms, Societal Shifts, And Technological Changes, And It Reveals How These Seemingly Disparate Elements Intertwine, Connecting The Intricate Dynamics Of The Social System's Micro-level Components To Larger Macro-level Structural Patterns-- Provided By Publisher.
