“A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.” –Chinese Proverb
Synopsis
Leading economists, sociologists, and psychologists present their highly original research into changes in jobs in Britain in the 1980s. Combining large-scale sample surveys, personal life-histories, and case studies of towns, employers, and worker groups, the contributors' findings give clear and sometimes surprising answers to questions about skills, equality, and new technology debated by social and economic observers in alladvanced countries. Skill and Occupational Change exploits the richest single data-set available and the authors exemplify many new techniques for researching skills at work: as an economic resource, as a motor of occupational change, and as a basis for personal careers and identity. It provides the mostcomprehensive, authoritative, and carefully researched set of conclusions to date on skill trends and their implications and draws the authoritative new map of skill-change in British society. Contributors: Brendan Burchell, Peter Elias, Jane Elliott, Brian Francis, Duncan Gallie, Ann Gasteen, Sara Horrell, Roger Penn, Michael Rose, Jill Rubery, Hilda Scattergood, John Sewell, Frank Wilkinson
