Ebook: Working Lives: Work in Britain Since 1945

In the wake of economic depression, employment and equality in the workplace have never been more important. In this accessible study, Arthur McIvor investigates meanings of work and how, why and to what degree working lives have been transformed in Britain since the Second World War. The book presents a range of research data and primary material, including oral testimonies, letting the workers speak for themselves and express what work signifies to them. Covering key themes such as gender, race, class, disability and health, it is an ideal resource for students of History, Social Sciences, Human Resource Management and Business Studies, and anyone with an interest in the history of work.
