This book was released on 2009-04-29 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the second book based on comparative and comprehensive data from the 2003 representative European Union Company survey of Operating hours, Working times and Employment (EUCOWE) in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. The EUCOWE project is the first representative and standardised European company survey which covers all categories of firm sizes and all sectors of the economy. This volume complements and builds on the first book published in 2007, in which the methodology and the descriptive national findings as well as some first comparative analytical results were presented. In this second book the EUCOWE research team presents in-depth cross-country analyses of the relationship between operating hours, working times and employment in the European Union. Six empirical chapters of this volume provide detailed comparative analyses of the determinants and consequences of the duration and flexibility of opening hours and operating times.
Book Synopsis Employment Policy and the Regulation of Part-time Work in the European Union by : Silvana Sciarra
Download or read book Employment Policy and the Regulation of Part-time Work in the European Union written by Silvana Sciarra and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book originates from the research project 'New discourses in labour law' held at the European University Institute. A detailed analysis of part-time work regulation is presented for seven European countries, in order to ascertain how internal domestic choices of the legislatures have merged into the 'Open method of co-ordination'. The impact of European employment policies is considered in parallel with the implementation of the Directive on part-time work, thus providing a complete overview of both soft and hard law mechanisms available to national policy-makers. In this 2004 work, the interaction between law and policy emerges as a dynamic and constantly changing process of exchange between national and supranational actors, through the use of concrete examples of lawmaking. Labour law is put forward as being central in the current evolution of European law, and this centrality is presented as a confirmation of innovation and continuity in regulatory techniques.

Book Synopsis Collective Dismissal in the European Union: A Comparative Analysis by : Roberto Cosio
Download or read book Collective Dismissal in the European Union: A Comparative Analysis written by Roberto Cosio and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-04-24 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When business imperatives require large enterprises to reorganize, involving the reduction in staff legally characterized as collective dismissal, EU directives and laws across Europe mandate specific procedures to support workers who have been made redundant and impose sanctions where regulatory or judicial scrutiny uncovers violations. It is thus essential that a clearly defined framework of the laws and jurisprudence in force in each Member State be provided for businesses and their counsel to ensure compliance and avoid sanctions. This eminently practical book, the first and only book of its kind, provides exactly such an analysis. The book is structured on a country-by-country basis, with each chapter written by an expert in the country covered and responding concisely to such questions as the following: • How is ‘collective dismissal’ calculated? • Which issues regarding collective layoffs’ procedures trigger legal intervention? • What happens when enterprises provide incomplete or delayed information to labour unions or public officials? • When can a worker be reinstated or claim compensation? Each chapter clarifies the extent to which directives have been implemented in the Member States and whether the law in force provides workers with some more favourable treatments than EU actually requires. Jurisprudence and its practical application are analysed from the perspective of the ‘law in action’ rather than that of the ‘law in the books’. A concluding chapter examines global standards and trends in this area of law. There is no other publication fully devoted to the subject of collective dismissal, extensively elaborated and supported with case law. As a source of reliable information as manifested in the actions of judges, lawyers, solicitors, firms, and labour unions, this book has no peers. It will be welcomed and put to use by lawyers and solicitors specializing in labour law, in-house counsel and human resources professionals at multinational companies, regulatory authorities, and labour unions, as well as by universities and centres of research in the field of European law and labour law. The editors - Roberto Cosio, Filippo Curcuruto, Vincenzo Di Cerbo and Giovanni Mammone - all have extensive experience in judicial and administrative practice related to EU labour law, particularly in Italy. All are well-known authors in this field.
Book Synopsis A Comparative Analysis of European Time Transfers between Generations and Genders by : Emilio Zagheni
Download or read book A Comparative Analysis of European Time Transfers between Generations and Genders written by Emilio Zagheni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-08 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comparative study of European time transfers reveals the full extent of transfers in the form of unpaid work and highlights the existence of important gender differences in household time production. A large quantity of goods and services are produced by household members for their own consumption, without involving market transactions. Despite the economic and social importance of unpaid work, these productive activities are largely invisible to traditional national economic accounts. As a consequence, standard measures of intergenerational transfers typically ignore household production, and thus underestimate the overall value of goods and services produced over the life cycle; in particular, the economic contribution of females. The book uses a life course approach to offer policy-relevant insights into the effect of demographic and social change on intergenerational ties and gender inequality in household production.

Book Synopsis Gender and the Contours of Precarious Employment by : Leah F. Vosko
Download or read book Gender and the Contours of Precarious Employment written by Leah F. Vosko and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precarious employment presents a monumental challenge to the social, economic, and political stability of labour markets in industrialized societies and there is widespread consensus that its growth is contributing to a series of common social inequalities, especially along the lines of gender and citizenship. The editors argue that these inequalities are evident at the national level across industrialized countries, as well as at the regional level within federal societies, such as Canada, Germany, the United States, and Australia and in the European Union. This book brings together contributions addressing this issue which include case studies exploring the size, nature, and dynamics of precarious employment in different industrialized countries and chapters examining conceptual and methodological challenges in the study of precarious employment in comparative perspective. The collection aims to yield new ways of understanding, conceptualizing, measuring, and responding, via public policy and other means – such as new forms of union organization and community organizing at multiple scales – to the forces driving labour market insecurity.
Book Synopsis Towards a Comparative Analysis of Social Inequalities between Europe and Latin America by : Pedro López-Roldán
Download or read book Towards a Comparative Analysis of Social Inequalities between Europe and Latin America written by Pedro López-Roldán and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access volume identifies the common and specific aspects of social mechanisms that generate inequalities, through comparative analyses of different dimensions in which inequalities are expressed. It includes studies on social inequalities in 5 European and 5 Latin American countries, along 11 thematic axes: inequalities in the labour market and labour trajectories; asymmetries in the relationship between training and employment; inequalities in work and family life; educational inequalities; geographical and social inequalities: ethnicity and language; social inequalities, migration and space; uncertainty, strategies, resources and capabilities; inequality of opportunity: intergenerational social mobility; social policies; gender inequalities; and research methodology. This volume is the result of a large collaborative project on social inequality funded by the European Commission: the International Network for Comparative Analysis of Social Inequalities. Taking into account diverse perspectives and approximations, the collaborators have created a general analytical framework as a model of analysis of social inequalities. The various contributions in this volume help readers gain a global outlook and help reflect on social inequalities in a comparative perspective. This volume addresses social science graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, social policy makers, as well as a broader academic audience interested in social inequality.
Book Synopsis The Changing Law of the Employment Relationship by : Nicola Countouris
Download or read book The Changing Law of the Employment Relationship written by Nicola Countouris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past few decades, industrialized countries have witnessed a progressive crisis of the regulatory framework sustaining the binary model of the employment relationship based on the subordinate employment/autonomous self-employment dichotomy. New atypical and hybrid working arrangements have emerged, challenging the traditional notions of, and divisions between, autonomy and subordination. This in turn has strained labour law systems across industrialized countries that were previously based on the notion of dependent and subordinate employment to cast their personal scope of application. Nicola Countouris advances ideas for a new dynamic equilibrium in employment law to accommodate this evolution, providing a comparative account of the development of the employment relationship in four key European countries - the UK, Germany, France and Italy.

Book Synopsis The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the Employment Relation by : Filip Dorssemont
Download or read book The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the Employment Relation written by Filip Dorssemont and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union is the most developed and comprehensive legally binding human rights instrument in the social field of the European Union. It is becoming increasingly important and is the first instrument that includes both civil and political rights on one hand and social rights on the other. Despite this, the Court of Justice of the European Union has only rarely dealt with fundamental social rights. In this context, employment rights need to be examined in this new rights framework. Following on from previous volumes setting out links between European labour law and fundamental social rights (as enshrined in relevant UN, ILO and Council of Europe instruments), in this book the ETUI Transnational Trade Union Rights (TTUR) Expert Network examines the justiciability of social rights and critically analyses the effectiveness of those rights embodied in the EU Charter. Thus, this book completes the trilogy of ETUI TTUR books on fundamental social rights at European level following the publication, also by Hart Publishing, of The European Convention of Human Rights and the Employment Relation (2013) and The European Social Charter and the Employment Relation (2017).

Book Synopsis The Transformation of Employment Relations in Europe by : Jim Arrowsmith
Download or read book The Transformation of Employment Relations in Europe written by Jim Arrowsmith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, the process of European economic integration, within a wider context of globalization, has accelerated employment change and placed a new premium on ‘flexible’ forms of work organization. The institutions of employment relations, specifically those concerning collective bargaining between employers and trade unions, have had to adapt accordingly. The Transformation of Employment Relations focuses not just on recent change, but charts the strategic choices that have influenced employment relations and examines these key developments in a comparative perspective. A historical and cross-national analysis of the most important and controversial ‘issues’ explores the motivation of the actors, the implementation of change, and its evolution in a diverse European context. The book highlights the policies and the role played by different institutional and social actors (employers, management, trade unions, professional associations and governments) and assesses the extent to which these policies and roles have had significant effects on outcomes. This comparative analysis of the transformation of work and employment regulation, within the context of a quarter-century timeframe, has not been undertaken in any other book. But this is no comparative handbook in which changes are largely described on a country-by-country basis, but instead, The Transformation of Employment Relations is rather focused thematically. As Europe copes with a serious economic crisis, understanding of the dynamics of work transformation has never been more important.
