The expansion of service sector employment, the emergence of more flexible working practices and the increased participation of women in European labour have been key trends in most European countries. This book includes essays that analyse these changes and situate them in a wider historical and geographical context.
Demographic change and economic liberalization are reshaping European states in a number of profound ways. In particular, an ageing population and shifts in the labour market are bringing new challenges to the nation states welfare systems. This unique volume of essays seeks to analyse these changes within the wider historical and geographical context whilst also considering the impact of gender.
