This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the institutions and processes shaping work, labour markets and industrial relations policies in Australia.
It explores traditional industrial relations issues and examines social change and policy failures, in areas such as gender, work and family dynamics, skills and immigration and wage theft. Additionally, it considers how pandemics, climate change, technological advances and new business forms impact policy change. Addressing these universal challenges, the book offers fresh conceptual approaches and rethinks policy problems and solutions.
Essential reading for scholars, students, and practitioners, this book reshapes our understanding of work and industrial relations policy.
