Introduction : working time in industrialized countries / Dominique Anxo, Colette Fagan, Deirdre McCann, Sangheon Lee and Jon C. Messenger -- 1. Regulating working time needs and preferences / Deirdre McCann -- 2. Working-hour gaps : trends and issues / Sangheon Lee -- 3.

Implications for working time policies / Dominique Anxo, Colette Fagan, Sangheon Lee, Deirdre McCann and Jon C. Messenger.
Review: "Globalization, demographic changes, increasing numbers of women in the labour market : all these changes have resulted in working time arrangements which often look vastly different than they did several decades ago. These changes have significant ramifications both economically and sociologically. This volume examines the changing nature of working time in industrialized countries." "This volume will greatly interest those researchers and academics working on labour economics, employment issues and more specifically working time. The policy ramifications that this book uncovers mean that it will also be a useful reference for policy-makers."--BOOK JACKET.
