      The 14 studies in this volume draw from the international research program "flexCAREER: Flexibility Forms on the Labor Market--A Cross-National Comparison of Social Inequality," which began in 2005 in Germany and examined the effects of the rise of part-time and flexible forms of employment on individual careers and inequality structures in society. Blossfeld (sociology, Bamberg U., Germany) et al. present studies by sociologists from Europe who detail the findings from the first phase of the project. The studies investigate the process of labor market entry and the early career of young adults in 11 OECD-type countries: Germany, France, The Netherlands, Great Britain, the US, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Hungary, and Estonia. Studies consider how labor market opportunities have developed in recent decades and which groups of young adults are the most affected, as well as factors such as security, skill level, how jobs match qualifications, career progression, and risks of downward mobility and unemployment. Th is aimed at scholars and researchers interested in international comparative research, globalization, labor markets, and social inequality. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
