Editorial Reviews
Alan B. Kreuger, The New York Times
"... documents trends in job satisfaction around the world and tries to make sense of them".
Review
Keith Whitfield, Cardiff University Business School, author of "Researching the World of Work" : This is a fine piece of work which will make a major impact. It brings together a large volume of excellent research by its author over a number of years. This is the sort of book that applied economists should write, but which few do. All credit to Francis Green for producing such a tour de force.
Stephen Wood, Director, ESRC Centre for Innovation and Organisation, University of Sheffield : Demanding Work addresses a highly significant area of research in the social sciences on a timely topic. Pulling together a range of issues falling under the umbrella of quality of work, Francis Green puts the overall issue prominently on the radar screen of economists, who have long neglected it, as well as higher up the political agenda.
Andrew Clark, Department and Laboratory of Applied and Theoretical Economics (DELTA), Ecole normale superieure, Paris : This well-written book tells an interesting and important story in a natural way, addressing shifts in various aspects of job quality over recent years before finally summing things up and looking at policy issues. Reading it was an enjoyable--and informative--experience.
