- W1550223303 abstract "Unease about the direction of labour market change pervades a wide range ofopinion today and it is now commonplace for the workforce of the developedeconomies to be described as increasingly insecure. This view is global in scopeand embraces international agencies and commentators in a range of countries(Barker and Christensen 1998; OECD 1997; Standing 1997) and is apparentacross a spectrum of interests which, in Britain, includes government (DTI1998:13), policy makers (Fabian Society 1996; IER 1996), trade unions (TUC1996) and management organisations (IPD 1996). For some, we live in an ‘ageof insecurity’ (Elliott and Atkinson 1998; cf. Beck 1992) and risk and instabilityhave become defining features of contemporary social life. Underlying thisviewpoint is a coherent set of statements about the nature, causes and effects ofrecent change in employment relations which can be labelled the ‘insecurity thesis’.This thesis informs a great deal of contemporary debate and commentary andincludes amongst its key propositions: that economic risk is being transferredincreasingly from employers to employees, through shortened job tenure andcontingent employment and remuneration; that insecurity is damaging to longterm economic performance, through its promotion of an employment relationshipfounded on opportunism, mistrust and low commitment; and that the emergenceof an insecure workforce imposes severe costs on both individuals and the widersociety. These and associated claims constitute a deeply critical assessment ofcurrent labour market change, and adherents of the thesis have proposed a varietyof radical reforms to reverse or mitigate the perceived slide towards insecureemployment." @default.
