Studies in Employment and Social Policy The major trend of population ageing that can be seen in the European Union (EU) and in most other advanced economies has significant consequences for social cohesion, intergenerational solidarity, economic development and the long-term sustainability of health and pension systems. For labour law, industrial relations, and collective bargaining, the implications of the ageing workforce pose specific challenges.

Communication difficulties are shown to arise from suspects' limited proficiency in English and polic...

It is hardly surprising, therefore, that work is heavily regulated. This Handbook examines the 'law of work', a term that includes legislation setting employment standards, collective labour law, workplace discrimination law, the law regulating the contract of employment, and international labour law.
