- Summary:
- This work is the result of a symposium focusing on the anxieties that arise from changes in the world of work in Europe. Experts in economics, epidemiology, health promotion, social policy, medicine and the behavioural and social sciences, labour market analysts and public health specialists shared information and perspectives on the health impact of employment insecurity. The presentations and subsequent discussions emphasized the need for a strong link between research and government policies. The hope is that this book will draw attention to and spark international debate on the changing nature of work, trends in labour market policies and the increase in job insecurity, which add up to chronic unemployment in so many developed countries.
