Abstract

Abstract Good work is crucial for our well-being but is under pressure from the application of new technologies, the use of flexible employment contracts and the intensification of work. In this book we have argued that achieving better work – good work for everyone who can and wants to work – is a crucial mission for policymakers, employers and labour organizations. In this final chapter we advance recommendations for how the government and other stakeholders can promote better work for more people.
