Description

Precariousness in High-Growth Economies examines labour instability across three pivotal economies by comparing contemporary China with postwar Japan and France. This scholarly work from Routledge explores how workers experience economic uncertainty during periods of rapid growth, drawing connections between different historical contexts and geographical regions. The book sits within the Histories of Everyday Life Around the World series, offering anthropological and sociological perspectives on employment precarity, job security, and living conditions. Readers gain insights into how labour markets function during economic expansion, the social consequences of workforce flexibility, and comparative analysis of worker vulnerability across distinct cultural and political systems. This academic text serves researchers, students, and professionals studying labour economics, economic history, or Asian development.
