The Politics of Unpaid Labour
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 intric...
Labour Law and Welfare Systems in an Era of Demographic, Technological, and Environmental Changes
The book discusses how labour law and welfare systems will be affected by the ongoing transformation of work. The first section considers demography from two different perspectives. On the one hand, it focuses on chronic diseases and their impact on work, emphasising the role and the regulation of welfare systems. On the other, attention is given to youth unemployment and to those forms of employment which might have an impact on young people. Section II touches upon the relationship between the environment and industrial relations, while the third part broaches the topic of the impact of technology in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0. As such, this volume provides an exhaustive picture of the changes currently underway, considering all the aspects which will affect work now and in the future.
Working in Digital and Smart Organizations
Contributing to recent debate on the emergence of digital and agile work, this book explores the implications for labour and employment relations within and beyond organizational boundaries. Taking a multidisciplinary approach to the key issues and challenges of digitalization, this collection covers topics such as the gig economy, crowdworking and Industry 4.0. Theory and analysis are combined as the authors examine the impact of digital and smart work on organization, HRM and labour law. With comprehensive empirical evidence for those interested in understanding the more complex trajectories of today’s transforming work relationships, this book will not only appeal to students and academics but also to policy-makers, trade unionists and employers’ organizations.
History of Philosophy and the Reflective Society
This book is about innovation, reflection and inclusion. Cultural innovation is something real that tops up social and technological innovation by providing the reflective society with spaces of exchange in which citizens engage in the process of sharing their experiences while appropriating common goods content. We are talking of public spaces such as universities, academies, libraries, museums, science-centres, but also of any place in which co-creation activities may occur. The argument starts with the need for new narratives in the history of philosophy, which can be established through co-creation, the motor of cultural innovation. The result is redefining the history of philosophy in terms of a dialogical civilization by ensuring continuous translations, individual processes of reflection and collective processes of inclusion. Readers will grasp the effectiveness of the history of philosophy in societies that are inclusive, innovative and reflective.
Precarious Workers
The recent vast upsurge in social science scholarship on job precarity has generally little to say about earlier forms of this phenomenon. Eloisa Betti’s monograph convincingly demonstrates on the example of Italy that even in the post-war phase of Keynesian stability and welfare state, precarious labor was an underlying feature of economic development. She examines how in this short period exceptional politics of labor stability prevailed. The volume then presents the processes whereby labor precarity regained momentum— under the name of flexibility— in the post-Fordist phase from the early 1980s, taking on new forms in the Craxi and Berlusconi eras. Multiple actors are addressed in t...
Regulating the Platform Economy
This book analyses novel and important issues relating to the emergence of new forms of work resulting from the introduction of disruptive technologies in the enterprises and the labour market, especially platform work. The first part of the book examines the platform economy and labour market, to address the more general challenges that the recent labour platforms pose for employment and the labour market, while the second part of the book considers the implications of the rise of different ways of work in the enterprises due to the incorporation of technology in a global context. Providing a rich analysis and evaluation of the numerous theoretical and practical regulatory problems arising ...
Il mondo che (ri)nasce
Il mondo che (ri)nasce dopo la pandemia non sarà lo stesso di prima. In pochi mesi, le nostre vite sono state sconvolte da un virus che, all’inizio, quasi non avevamo visto come una reale minaccia. Ma che in poco tempo si è manifestato con tutta la sua atroce spietatezza, provocando vittime e una crisi sanitaria, economica e sociale senza precedenti nel nostro recente passato. In questo libro curato da Andrea Ferrazzi, venti esperti riflettono su cos’è successo, su cosa potrebbe succedere e, last but not least, su cosa dovrebbe succedere affinché la crisi da COVID-19 non sia accaduta invano. In quindici saggi viene analizzata questa drammatica esperienza da prospettive diverse: la so...
Trasformazioni, valori e regole del lavoro
Il volume raccoglie i contributi che colleghe e colleghi, amiche e amici, hanno voluto dedicare alla memoria di Riccardo Del Punta, continuando a dialogare con il suo pensiero. Gli scritti affrontano molti dei tanti temi con i quali Del Punta si è confrontato, tanto temi didiritto del lavoro quanto riflessioni sul diritto del lavoro, a conferma – se mai ce ne fosse bisogno – della capacità del suo pensiero di aprire piste di ricerca e sollecitare riflessioni su strade già battute. Il tutto è condito di ricordi affettuosi, che dimostrano la traccia non solo scientifica che Del Punta ha lasciato nella comunità dei giuslavoristi.
Giustizia sostenibile
Il volume sviluppa il concetto di sostenibilità nel settore della giustizia attraverso una serie di contributi che delineano un ampio quadro dei nuovi modelli per l’efficienza della giustizia sollecitati dal PNRR. L’opera, coniugando la ricerca teorica con quella empirica, rappresenta un innovativo strumento per la formazione della nuova figura professionale dell’addetto all’ufficio per il processo ed è pertanto rivolta ai funzionari futuri e già in servizio, alle figure professionali che operano all’interno degli uffici giudiziari e agli studiosi del mondo accademico. Il volume permette di acquisire la conoscenza dei meccanismi di gestione del contenzioso, le basi della statistica, dell’informatica, dell’organizzazione aziendale e della sociologia applicate al settore della giustizia.
