Overtime : why we need a shorter working week

Stronge, Will2021
Books
With the rise of automation and precarious forms of work, jobs are becoming increasingly polarised. While some are overworked, there are many more people forced into precarious and underpaid work, work that falls heavily on those most vulnerable in society. All of this while countries in the Global North are experiencing a crisis of care, where the disproportionately gendered labour of care is and undervalued, and often unpaid. In this short book, Will Stronge and Kyle Lewis argue that one powerful and practical response to the worrying trend of job polarisation is the call for a shorter working week.
