About this ebook

What do young workers want from the future of work—and what does it mean for employers and policymakers? Using new data from Australia, the UK, and Japan, this book offers rare comparative insights into the gendered differences in how workers aged 18 to 40 experience job quality, flexibility, security, respect, and care. In the face of profound demographic, economic, and technological change, the future of work is inseparable from the future of care. With clear, data-driven analysis, the book provides essential reading for academics, policymakers, and business leaders navigating a rapidly changing world of work.
