Abstract:
This issue of the International Journal of Labour Research examines the trends and the reasons that lie behind this expansion, as well as their effects on workers and various segments of the labour force such as youth and women and inequality. It also considers the consequences of this development on workers' capacity to organize, and what strategies trade unions can envisage to reverse this trend.
