  Structural reforms and employment

  "Travail et emploi" Journal

  The review Travail et Emploi is planning a thematic issue dedicated to the analysis of the various reforms implemented over the last ten years in the OECD countries to support employment. The OECD and the European Commission have widely recommended reforms aimed at labour market flexibilisation and lowering labour costs, while at the same time countries were undergoing strong budget constraints on both public expenditure and public employment.

  Socio-economic approaches to sexuality

  La sexualité est une forme d’échange social qui relève à la fois du symbolique, du politique, du juridique, mais aussi – et c’est ce qui nous intéresse ici – de l’économique. Si quelques ouvrages récents consacrent des développements à la question, l’économie de la sexualité est absente des principaux ouvrages de synthèse. Ce colloque vise à discuter des travaux en sciences sociales qui examinent les rapports entre la sexualité et l’économie. Cet événement scientifique se tiendra à Lille, les 12 et 13 octobre 2017. Chacune des sessions sera discutée par un chercheur membre du comité scientifique.

  Working overtime: longer working hours

  La nouvelle revue du travail journal issue no. 11

  The first issue of the Nouvelle Revue du Travail focused on changes in the temporality of work and how this affected work and workers while highlighting the fragmentation of time at work. Between France’s January 17^th 2003 Fillon law and August 6^th 2015 Macron “Economic growth, activity and equal opportunity” law, the incremental weakening of the country’s 35-hour workweek laws translated into longer working times, accompanied by a general policy of extending peoples’ working lives by requiring them to pay into their pension pots for a longer period of time. Hence the decision taken in this 11^th research strand to focus on the extension in working time.

  Low-cost practices

  The notion of “low-costing” - which can refer to a production process or finished product – is difficult to define. The term is also applied in a geographic sense, referring to the cheapness of a country’s workforce. This semantic confusion is one of the reasons it is worth focusing on the construct and analysing its growing importance, notably in the Western world.
