Über diesen Titel

In today's society, work takes up a vast proportion of the time and energy of ordinary people. Although use of the phrase "work-life balance" is now commonplace in the media and ordinary conversation, people work longer hours than ever before. However, rather than purely a means to an end in terms of supporting oneself financially, the workplace is a place to develop skills and talents and build lasting friendships. For these reasons, people want to know about their rights in the workplace. Issues of equal pay, discrimination, discharge/dismissal, and redundancy are prevalent within the media, and there is a growing public appetite for knowledge of the law governing the employment relationship.

This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of the main kinds of employment rights and labor laws found in many countries. It unpicks and evaluates some of the assumptions underpinning contemporary attitudes to such rights and laws in order to measure whether they are warranted. Throughout it also considers the economic, political, sociological, and social justifications for employment rights and laws.

As an economist, I found the book a decent introduction into employment law, alluding to important aspects & tradeoffs. Since I know the economics literature quite well, I can judge the section alluding to economic justifications. The discussion was up to date with the newest literature, but the arguments were relatively unnuanced compared to the state of the literature. I guess that’s a necessary drawback when wanting to boil down such diverse aspects.

Good overview of employment law
