Teleworking can be regarded as a specific form of flexible working and some
of our publications on teleworking
are referred to elsewhere. Here is an annotated list of some publications
which take a more general look at various aspects of flexible work.
- 'Flexible Labour Markets and Equality Between the Sexes:
threat or opportunity?' in Mosconi, N., (ed) Égalité des
Sexes en Éducation et Formation, Presses Universitaries de France,
Paris, 1998 (paper, in English, in this largely French-language collection
of conference papers on gender equality, education and and training)
- Flexibility
and Security: towards a new European Balance?, Citizens Income Trust, 1998 (this draws on a comparative study
of the relationship between flexible labour markets and benefit systems across
Europe. Although European welfare systems, whether these are of the
social democratic, liberal, corporatist or Mediterranean types, differ markedly
in the ways in which they offer protection to workers, it shows that all,
in their different ways, discriminate against workers who are not full-time,
permanent employees. It argues that a fundamental rethink of the nature
of benefit systems will be required if flexible working is to become a positive
choice, examines the arguments for and against various different models,
critical evaluates some practical measures which might encourage more flexible
working and outlines a research agenda for the future)
- Flexible Labour Markets and Social Protection in Europe
