Restructuring the Employment Relationship

by Duncan Gallie, Michael White, Yuan Cheng

This new study presents the first large-scale empirical analysis of the changes in British work experiences and employment relationships between the 1980s and 1990s. Drawing evidence from the Employment in Britain survey, it demonstrates that, despite a marked trend towards upskilling, the restructuring of the employment relationship has actually reinforced traditional lines of division in the workplace.
