Labour Law, Work, and Family: Critical and Comparative Perspectives - Hardcover
The book focuses on the relationship between work and family in the context of debate about labour law and regulation. It considers not just the position of women workers (paid and unpaid) or the current preoccupation of states with developing more family-friendly workplaces but it looks at these issues within the broader context of changes taking place in the world of work as a consequence of globalization.

Review from previous edition "[a] valuable book which is worthy of a place on any labour lawyers bookshelf" Modern Law Review, September 2003.
`Labour Law in an Era of Globalization presents an incredibly diverse range of arguments regarding the future of the law of work. All these are grounded in the practices of many jurisdictions around the world and the contributors individually imagine a wide range of possibilities for the
future development of the law. It is a collection which should be read by everyone who has an interest in the promotion of justice in work relations and the strength of its content has the capacity not only to contribute to but to be highly influential in those political contests through which the
law and the world of work is created.'
Adelaide Law Review
`... provocative, challenging and always stimulating. As it gathers together some of the very best labour lawyers in the world, the quality of the scholarship and writing is, unsurprisingly, of the highest standard across all contributions.'
Adelaide Law Review
`... insights into the impacts of globalisation on law and work in contexts as diverse as Great Britain, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Jordan, Israel and Silicon Valley in the USA.'

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In recent years, gender has emerged as an important focus of attention in discourse in and around labour law. Gender is gradually moving from the margin to the mainstream of labour law debate, particularly with the development of a 'family-friendly' policy agenda. This book consists of a series of essays from an international selection of leading legal scholars exploring the shifting boundary between work and family from a labour law perspective. The object is toassess the global implications for labour law and policy of women's changing role in paid and unpaid work. The approaches adopted by the contributors' are diverse, bothconceptually and geographically, encompassing analyses from Australia, North America, Canada, the UK, Europe and Japan, and including national and supra-national perspectives. Key themes informing the collection as a whole are the re-positioning of unpaid care work as integral to the performance and structure of productive activity; and consideration of the implications of recognizing the interdependence of work and family activities. In this way, the book seeks to develop a central theme fromthe previously published 'Labour Law in an Era of Globalization' (Conaghan, Fischl and Klare, eds. OUP), as part of an ongoing exploration into the distributive implications of economic and politicalglobalization. Focuses on the relationship between work and family in the context of debate about labour law and regulation. This book considers the position of women workers (paid and unpaid) or the preoccupation of states with developing more family-friendly workplaces, and looks at these issues within the context of changes as a consequence of globalization.
