- Summary:
- The topic is of exceptionally broad interest--to workers, managers, labor negotiators, policy makers, sociologists, and business scholars--and it encompasses a wide range of questions: at what age can work begin? How has collective bargaining shaped workers' hours? What are the effects of shorter work weeks and increased working time flexibility? Thoemmes (U. of Toulouse, France) examines the history of such discussion and reviews work scholarship, then offers analyses, comparisons, and economic and sociological forecasts involving case studies in France and Germany.
