Poverty and Insecurity

de Tracy Shildrick, Robert MacDonald, Colin Webster, Kayleigh Garthwaite

How do men and women get by in times and places where opportunities for standard employment have drastically reduced? Are we witnessing the growth of a new class, where people exist without predictability or security in their lives? What effects do flexible and insecure forms of work have on material and psychological well-being? This book examines and challenges these questions.
