Will the gig economy prevail? Crouch ColinPaperback softback
Increasingly employees are being falsely treated as 'self-employed' in order to weaken their rights and security. He shows how the idea of an employee - a stable status that involves a bundle of rights - has, despite many changes and threats, shown a curious persistence. This phenomenon - the 'gig economy' - is seen as the inevitable shape of things to come.In this book leading authority Colin Crouch takes a step back and questions this logic.
He goes onto propose reforms to reverse the perverse incentives that reward irresponsible employers and punish good ones, setting out an agenda for a realistic future of secure work. Examining the various ways companies are attacking these rights, from temporary work to involuntary part-time work to 'gigging', he shows the contradictions and paradoxes of the situation and argues that it should not and cannot continue.
