Long gone is the notion that we all work 9 to 5 in one or two jobs until retirement. This book explores a wide range of work issues including trends in labour force structure; full-time, part-time and casual work; balancing work and families; childcare issues; an ageing workforce; job sharing; telecommuting; working from home; stress and overwork; job satisfaction; ‘downshifting’ – putting lifestyle before your career.
