Book Description
Este libro trata sobre la incidencia del cambio tecnológico en las transformaciones estructurales del mercado de trabajo y, en concreto, sobre la proliferación de un fenómeno relativamente novedoso como es la precariedad laboral. Tras su contextualización en el marco teórico, desarrollado bajo los supuestos de la teoría de las ondas largas y la teoría de la regulación, se argumenta que la expansión de la precariedad laboral es consecuencia de la reorganización del proceso productivo impulsado por las empresas y de las políticas neoliberales de ajuste y flexibilización efectuadas por los Estados como respuesta a la crisis de las economías capitalistas de los años 1970 y 80, sugiriendo que a ella el cambio técnico ha contribuido, como instrumento de manera específicamente importante. En base a ello, se plantea, ceteris paribus, la existencia de una relación directa entre las tasas de variación del cambio técnico, medida mediante índices de productividad de Malmquist, y las tasas de variación de la precariedad laboral. Dicho supuesto se concreta en el caso de España, circunscribiendo el campo de estudio a sus comunidades autónomas para el período comprendido entre 1987 y 2004, que es desde cuando existe información estadística disponible. Constatando, mediante el análisis estadístico, una tendencia marcada de correlación de signo positivo entre ambas variables. Se concluye que tal tendencia obedece a la estrategia de flexibilidad laboral impulsada por las políticas gubernamentales de desregulación del mercado de trabajo.

Languages : es
Pages : 116
Book Description
El presente libro pretende arrojar alguna luz sobre el amplio debate que se está desarrollando a nivel internacional acerca de los efectos del desarrollo tecnológico sobre el empleo. Se intenta dar respuesta, con un lenguaje sencillo, dirigido a un público no necesariamente experto, a las siguientes cuestiones: ¿es el desarrollo tecnológico el principal causante del alto nivel de desempleo que padecemos en la actualidad? ¿No es más cierto que sólo con más innovaciones podremos crear nuevos empleos? Si esto es así, ¿qué condiciones deben darse para que el avance técnico se traduzca en creación de puestos de trabajo? ¿Sirven las políticas económicas tradicionales para crear empleo en el nuevo sistema tecnoglobal en que nos movemos?

Labor in the Global Digital Economy
Author: Ursula Huws
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1583674632
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
For every person who reads this text on the printed page, many more will read it on a computer screen or mobile device. It’s a situation that we increasingly take for granted in our digital era, and while it is indicative of the novelty of twenty-first-century capitalism, it is also the key to understanding its driving force: the relentless impulse to commodify our lives in every aspect. Ursula Huws ties together disparate economic, cultural, and political phenomena of the last few decades to form a provocative narrative about the shape of the global capitalist economy at present. She examines the way that advanced information and communications technology has opened up new fields of capital accumulation: in culture and the arts, in the privatization of public services, and in the commodification of human sociality by way of mobile devices and social networking. These trends are in turn accompanied by the dramatic restructuring of work arrangements, opening the way for new contradictions and new forms of labor solidarity and struggle around the planet. Labor in the Global Digital Economy is a forceful critique of our dizzying contemporary moment, one that goes beyond notions of mere connectedness or free-flowing information to illuminate the entrenched mechanisms of exploitation and control at the core of capitalism.

The Third Digital Divide
Author: Massimo Ragnedda
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 131706433X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Drawing on the thought of Max Weber, in particular his theory of stratification, this book engages with the question of whether the digital divide simply extends traditional forms of inequality, or whether it also includes new forms of social exclusion, or perhaps manifests counter-trends that alleviate traditional inequalities whilst constituting new modalities of inequality. With attention to the manner in which social stratification in the digital age is reproduced and transformed online, the author develops an account of stratification as it exists in the digital sphere, advancing the position that, just as in the social sphere, inequalities in the online world go beyond the economic elements of inequality. As such, study of the digital divide should focus not simply on class dynamics or economic matters, but cultural aspects - such as status or prestige - and political aspects - such as group affiliations. Demonstrating the enduring relevance of Weber’s distinctions with regard to social inequality, The Third Digital Divide: A Weberian approach to rethinking digital inequalities explores the ways in which online activities and digital skills vary according to crucial sociological dimensions, explaining these in concrete terms in relation to the dynamics of social class, social status and power. As such, it will be of interest to social scientists with interests in sociological theory, the sociology of science and technology, and inequality and the digital divide.

The Migration Conference 2019 - Book of Abstracts and Programme

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
We’re pleased to welcome you to the Department of Political Science at the University of Bari “Aldo Moro” for the 7th Migration Conference. The conference is the largest scholarly gathering on migration with a global scope. Human mobility, economics, work, employment, integration, insecurity, diversity and minorities, as well as spatial patterns, culture, arts and legal and political aspects appear to be key areas in the current migration debates and research. Throughout the program of the Migration Conference you will find various key thematic areas covered in 598 presentations by 767 contributors coming from all around the world, from Australia to Canada, China to Colombia, Brazil to Korea, and South Africa to Norway. We are proud to bring together experts from universities, independent research organisations, governments, NGOs and the media. We are also proud to bring you opportunities to meet with some of the leading scholars in the field. This year invited speakers include Fiona B. Adamson, Markus Kotzur, Philip L. Martin, Karsten Paerregaard, Ferruccio Pastore, Martin Ruhs, Jeffrey H. Cohen, and Carlos Vargas Silva. Although the main language of the conference is English, this year we will have linguistic diversity as usual and there will be presentations in French, Italian, Spanish and Turkish. We have maintained over the years a frank and friendly environment where constructive criticism foster scholarship, while being nice improves networks and quality of the event. We hope to continue with this tradition and you will enjoy the Conference and Bari during your stay. We thank all participants, invited speakers and conference committees for their efforts and contribution. We also thank many colleagues who were interested in and submitted abstracts but could not make it this year. We are particularly grateful to hundreds of colleagues who served as reviewers and helped the selection process. We also thank to those colleagues who organised panels and agreed to chair parallel sessions over three days. We reserve our final thanks to the team of volunteers whose contributions have been essential to the success of the conference. In this regard, special thanks are reserved for our volunteers and team leaders Rosa, Alda, Franco, and Aldo from the University of Bari, Tuncay and Fatma from Regent’s University London, Fethiye from Namik Kemal University and Vildan from Galatasaray University, Ege from Middle East Technical University, Mehari from Regent’s University London, and Gizem from Transnational Press London. Our final thanks are reserved for the leaders of the University of Bari “Aldo Moro” and the Department of Political Science, President of Puglia Regional Administration and Mayor of City of Bari for hosting the Conference and for their generous support in enriching the Conference programme. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us through the conference email ([email protected]). Ibrahim Sirkeci and Michela C. Pellicani The Migration Conference Chairs The Migration Conference 2019 The Migration Conference is a global venue for academics, policy makers, practitioners, students and everybody who is interested in intelligent debate and research informed discussions on human mobility and its impacts around the world.
