"""Meaningful work, work that encourages a sense of belonging and builds capabilities for the future builds people’s wellbeing, as well as providing the means to getting by. Precarious work puts these human needs at risk. Carr and colleagues provide real-life suggestions for supporting people to make sustainable livelihoods through good work"". Stewart Forsyth, Director: FX Consultants; I/O Net Australasia; and I/O Special Interest Group NZ ""Not so very long ago the term precarious work referred to a relatively small proportion of specific, scattered, particularly onerous jobs. Stuart Carr and his colleagues Veronica Hopner, Darrin Hodgetts and Megan Young, along with their many contributors, show us the unsettling variety of ways in which very many jobs in the 21st century are precarious. However, the aim of the book “is not solely to document work-related misery and hardship, but to shift discussion toward reforming precarious work.” The book will be an important source and inspiration for those industrial-organizational psychologists (and others) who believe that their mission includes helping to assure that the world of work is as safe, just, healthy, challenging and fulfilling for workers as we can make it."" Joel Lefkowitz, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Bernard M. Baruch College and The Graduate Center, CUNY, USA ""Industrial and Organizational Psychology has a long tradition of responding to challenges of the day. The 22 contributions in this book, from leading researchers, practitioners and advocates for Decent Work under the UN Sustainable Development Goals, continue that tradition - and extend it to opportunities for the future through sustainable livelihoods."" Secretary of State Professor Gary Latham, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, Canada"
