About the book

 is an essential guide to the politics of inequality in Canada’s job market. Contributors trace the causes of low-wage work and precarious employment, and propose solutions for a sustainable future. Written by leading experts, the book demonstrates how laws and public policy—supposedly intended to protect workers—often leaves employees vulnerable with little economic or social security. Based on the latest research and international comparisons, chapters offer in-depth case studies of how globalization, labor laws, COVID-19, and other challenges affect workers on and off the job. But it also defines a far-reaching policy agenda for achieving greater equality as well as a green economy. A Hill Times Best Book of 2022.
