In a contemporary labour market that includes growing levels of precarious
employment, the regulation of minimum employment standards is intricately
connected to conditions of economic security. With a focus on the role of
neoliberal labour market policies in promoting "flexible" employment
standards legislation - particularly in the areas of minimum wages and
working time - Mark Thomas argues that shifts toward "flexible"
legislation have played a central role in producing patterns of labour
market inequality.
