Vosko (feminist political economy, York U., Canada), MacDonald (economics, Saint Mary's U., Canada), and Campbell (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology U., Australia) present country studies that examine the dominant debates around labor insecurity and precarious employment in each country, analyze the main trends and forces, and assess the implications of recent changes. Concern for gender relations is the underlying theme and the chapters therefore also seek to identify the consequences of precarious employment for men and women and for inherited forms of employment protection, household structures, social security systems, and gender regimes. The countries examined are Canada, the United States, Australia, Japan, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Germany, and Sweden. Also included are papers discussing comparative analysis of spatial dimensions of gendered precariousness, conceptual and practical issues of investigating longitudinal dimensions of precarious employment, and precarious employment in the healthcare sector.
