This book brings together contributions by some of the top working life researchers from Finland and abroad. It offers a series of short essay-type chapters covering a broad variety of topics related to how labour markets, work and working life are continuously changing. The book has a strong cross-national approach and stresses the importance of studying both microlevel changes within macrolevel contexts as well as the microlevel mechanisms of changes at the macrolevel. The chapters are grouped in four parts. Part I deals with how life courses have changed, with special focus on the entry of women to the labour market and the determinants of their economic contribution. Part II discusses two circuits of labour migration: that of mostly high-skilled and regulated work and that of mostly low-skilled and unregulated work. However, it also shows that the boundaries between those two are not always clear. Part III focuses on how work itself is changing, using the examples of women attorneys' pro-bono work in Finland and Poland and the use of lean management in the Nordic public sector. Finally, in Part IV the authors explore the power of institutions and ideas in reshaping the way we work while labour markets are under pressure.

How is gender signified, produced and reproduced through paid and unpaid labour? In what ways does gender intersect with other kinds of disadvantage? How does power work through interactions, emotions and bodies? In this original synthesis of social theory and its application to gender and work, Kate Huppatz draws from classical theory and principles of the 'cultural turn' to explore how feminist sociology dismantles dualistic understandings of gender and scrutinizes the workings of power. In a tour de force of exposition and analysis of landmarks in the literature, Huppatz reflects upon continuities and departures in cutting-edge research on gender within organizations, unpaid domestic labour, and paid and unpaid care work. Close attention is paid to pressing issues such as the intersectionality of inequality in the workplace, relations between micro activities and larger social processes, and the impact of Covid-19 on exposing and exacerbating the gendered inequalities of work. Case examples drawn from North America, Australasia and the UK illustrate social theory in practice. Throughout, Huppatz emphasizes the importance of theoretical understandings in furthering empirical research about gender and work. She also considers the gendered division of labour within the study of work and employment itself. This key new addition to the Themes in Social Theory series is an essential read for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers interested in this area of study across a wide range of disciplines.

La centralité du travail dans nos existences n’est plus à démontrer mais comment en cerner la portée ? Cet ouvrage propose de l’éclairer à partir des rapports entre le temps et le travail. Notre approche vise à saisir simultanément les transformations du temps du travail et ses incidences sur les autres temps sociaux. Les contributions rassemblées ici permettent de faire le lien entre des réalités trop souvent saisies séparément : celles du travail d’un côté, celles de l’éducation formation, de la famille et de l’organisation domestique de l’autre. Or, il importe de les relier dans la mesure où les transformations du travail et des modes de vie s’inscrivent dans une dynamique salariale qui rythme les existences de plus en plus tôt, de plus en plus tard et de plus en plus profondément. Simultanément, les temps sociaux s’enchevêtrent en cours d’existence dans le cadre de tensions toujours plus vives qu’il importe de saisir non seulement à travers les quantités de temps qu’ils nous disputent mais également à travers les évolutions qualitatives qu’elles rendent possibles. La question est alors de savoir comment s’extraire de l’emprise de l’urgence et de l’accélération dans les faits comme dans l’analyse afin de saisir le présent dans son épaisseur temporelle.
