24th Annual International Labour Process Conference: WORK-LIFE BOUNDARY STREAM

The relationship between work and life was once a major focus of analysis but disappeared with the decline of manufacturing and the death of traditional occupational communities. Recent developments suggest that the work-life boundary should again become an analytical focus. These developments include the changing locations of work; new forms of work; work intensification; the individualisation of employment relations; non-standard forms of employment; the blurring of work and non-work identities.
