Tiivistelmä
One of the critical questions facing modernity concerns the
reconfiguration of paid employment, which has been subject to wholesale
changes that have widespread consequences for workers, their families,
and the institutional structure that characterizes capitalist societies.
A key driver of these changes has been the digital revolution and the
rapid proliferation of the gig economy. Together with social network
sites for hiring, the spread of robotics, and the rise of artificial
intelligence and machine learning, they leave virtually no occupation
untouched.
This volume presents the most recent studies of work and labor in the
