> Monique Ramioul, Ursula Huws & An Bollen (eds.)
>
> The development of a global Knowledge-based Society has presented huge new
> challenges to statisticians as occupations, businesses, production and
work
> processes and labour market be­haviour are transformed at accelerating
> speed. In the absence of reliable data, the public debate is all too often
> based on anecdote, hype or misinformation. The speed and scope of the
> current labour market changes instigate new demands for information,
coming
> from policy-makers, jour­nalists, academics and other stakeholders. Some
of
> these demands include: How many companies practice offshore outsourcing
and
> how many jobs are at risk? How many teleworkers are there? How many people
> work in call centres? How many people use computers at work? How many work
> in virtual teams? How fast are these trends growing? Which countries are
> leading these develop­ments and which are lagging behind? Is work really
> becoming more flexible? And are workers really becoming more mobile?
> Drawing on the work of the European STILE project (www.STILE.be), this
> unique book brings together contributions from leading European academic
and
> independent research institutes and National Statistical Institutes,
> academic experts and international organisations. The result is a
> comprehensive overview - indispensable reading for statisticians,
> researchers or policy-makers with an interest in gaining an accurate
insight
> into the economic and social upheavals accompanying technological change
and
> informing a responsible public debate on the future of work.
