| Abstract |
This issue of the ILO's Conditions of Work Digest analyses in detail the new practices in the organisation of working time. It explores the motivations for changes, the principles underlying the schedules, their economic and social impact, and policy implications. It contains: an introduction that identifies trends and issues and offers an international perspective; the latest developments in legislation and collective agreements on a wide variety of topics, including flexibility in daily and weekly hours, night work and part-time work; 30 detailed case studies in various industries and services of 9 industrialised countries; policy statements from governments, employers' and workers' organisations on such issues as flexibility and fragmentation of working time, as well as legislative proposals illustrating trends in governments policy; a comprehensive analysis of manuals and guidelines, describing their features and comparing the advice they offer concerning the many forms of working time arrangements, and on the best way of introducing new approaches. |
