While public debate has long focused on mass unemployment, the resurgence of questions about the quality of jobs and working conditions reveals a significant change in the contemporary employment landscape.
In this editorial, Éric Maurin identifies four recent changes in the nature of work and the conditions surrounding it, and the key issues they raise.
Éric Maurin is professor at the Paris School of Economics and director of studies at the School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences. He is also the holder of the Labor Chair with Dominique Meurs. He is the author of several books on changes in French society, including Le ghetto français (2004), La peur du déclassement (2009) and Les nouvelles classes moyennes (2012). His most recent work focuses on the social transformations brought about by the spread of teleworking.
