between research on job quality and research on comparative

Patrick McGovern, Work and Occupations
`This book provides a rigorous and insightful comparative analysis
of the quality of work in five European countries including France,
Germany, Great Britain, Spain and Sweden...this is a useful book
with up-to-date data and innovative empirical studies on many of
the pressing issues for not only Europe but for many developed
countries...overall, this book is a great read, its format is easy
to read and the information easily digestible.'
