Beschreibung:
Gerhard Bosch is Professor for sociology at the university Duisburg-Essen and Vice President of the Institute for Work and Technology. He is an expert on labour market policy, working time and employment policy.
The rise to prominence of the service sector - heralded over half a century ago as the great hope for the twenty-first century - has come to fruition. People working in the service sector are now outnumbering those involved with manufacturing in many cases. This growth poses many serious questions: Is more growth in the service sector possible without an expanding manufacturing sector? How great is the need for low-skill, low-paid jobs in the provision of services to households? These and many other questions are answered in an unassuming readable style in this new collection that will be of great interest to all those involved in industrial economics.
