Global Cities At Work: New Migrant Divisions of Labour
Autor Jane Wills, Kavita Datta, Yara Evans, Joanna Herbert, Jon June, Cathy McIlwaineen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 dec 2009
Global Cities at Work breaks new ground in linking London's new migrant division of labour to the twin processes of subcontracting and increased international migration that have been central to contemporary processes of globalisation.
Global Cities at Work raises the level of debate about migrant labour, encouraging policy-makers, journalists and social scientists to look behind the headlines. The book calls us to take a politically-informed geographical view of our urban labour markets and to prioritise the issue of working poverty and its implications for both unemployment and community cohesion.
