Work and Labour Markets
Recasting Workers' Power
Work and Inequality in the Shadow of the Digital Age

Employer Engagement
Making Active Labour Market Policies Work
Active labour market policies aim to assist people not in work into work through a range of interventions including job search, training and in-work support and development. While policies and scholarship predominantly focus on jobseekers’ engagement with these initiatives, this book sheds light for the first time on the employer’s perspective.
