Reviews
'By taking temporary labour placement as a strategic lens of analysis, the contributors shed new light on the intersections between changes in the macro political economy, industrial reconfigurations and regulatory adjustments, and individual experiences and perceptions. Well written and exceptionally coherent, the volume makes important contributions to the studies of labour relations, globalization, migration and neoliberalism.' Xiang Biao, University of Oxford, UK 'As all jobs become more temporary, this volume offers a vital, global portrait of the wellspring of this job-degrading flexibilization : the temporary help agency industry itself. This sobering volume sounds a much-needed alarm about a future work trajectory that must be avoided at all costs.' Chris Tilly, Director, UCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment, USA 'It is an edited book with a good collection of research papers from eminent international scholars and authors. It contains diagrams, tables and lots of references that serve as a foundation for further research on temporary agency work. This book is useful for human resources scholars, practitioners and leaders at all levels. Enjoy reading this book!' Professor M.S. Rao, Amazon.com review, May 2015
