Rezensionen
A remarkable contribution by two outstanding researchers. This is an important topic which, in their words, was born in the sociological imagination and developed through rigorous empirical research. The book is well-written and very accessible. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in the realities of the world of work. Professor Irena Grugulis 20210119
