"The Research Handbook on Decent Work in a Post-COVID 19 World is an essential read, assessing prospects for employment, labour standards and the organisation of work in the wake of the pandemic. Contributing authors cover key developments and challenges in the field, from low pay to social protection. This Research Handbook investigates topics that have become more prominent since the COVID-19 pandemic, such as telework and essential workers. The book's five central themes of inclusion and equality, the impact of technology, risks and regulation, governance and representation, and global developments provide a framework to examine the challenges and opportunities currently facing workers, trade unions, employers and policy makers. Scholars and students in fields such as employment relations, human resource management and political economy will find this to be a vital read. The book will also be of value to policy makers, HR practitioners, trade unions and others seeking to understand contemporary issues relating to decent work"--
