Scrutinising Polarisation: Patterns and Consequences of Occupational Transformation in the Swedish Labour Market (Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Work, Professions and Organisations)
by Tomas Berglund Ylva Ulfsdotter ErikssonThis book scrutinises polarisation in Sweden, identifying patterns and variations in labour market transformation and exploring the consequences in terms of jobs, income, prestige, unionization and employment security, as well as the effects on different social groups. Through a series of empirical studies, it sheds light on changes in the occupational structure and the ways in which these changes interact with other societal trends, such as increased temporary employment, rising migration and decreased unionization, whilst also exploring changes in the evaluation of occupations and attitudes towards trade unions. Drawing on distinctly sociological perspectives, it shows how transformations in society and the labour market have affected conditions for individuals and considers whether these changes reinforce existing inequalities occasioned by polarisation or create new ones. Scrutinising Polarisation considers whether and how the Swedish labour market has polarized – and, if so, what this means for individual employees and labour organizations. It will therefore appeal to scholars with interests in the sociology of work and professions, social inequalities and labour market transformations.

Scum Airways: Inside Football's Underground Economy
by John SugdenFootball is big business and it doesn't come much bigger than Manchester United – commercial giants and the richest club in the world. But in the shadow of Old Trafford a black economy is growing to rival the commercial power of the official sales channels. Scum Airways is an inside investigation of the Manchester grafters – touts, black marketeers and shady dealers – who, led by characters like 'Big Tommy', have come up with a remarkably successful money-making venture: Scum Airways. With the expansion of the Champions League came the opportunity for the grafters to move from ticket touting and producing 'unofficial' replica kits into the independent travel business. International Travel is the company for those who, through choice or because of their police records prohibit them, do not travel with the official clubs. Their customers include many 'straight' supporters of Leeds United, arch-rivals of Man U, but Tommy's core clients are the 'Lads' - die-hard 30-something football hooligans. Scum Airways follows the exploits and adventures of Big Tommy and his team of grafters as they continue to build their empire. John Sugden went along for the ride and provides startling insights into professional football's burgeoning black economy. From Munich to Madrid, Amsterdam to Bangkok, through to the streets and bars of Toyko and Sapporo during the 2002 World Cup, and beyond, Scum Airways reveals the dark side of the football business.

SDGs, Transformation, and Quality Growth: Insights from International Cooperation (Sustainable Development Goals Series)
by Akio HosonoThis is an Open Access book. The primary objective of this book is to seek out insights into the concept of high-quality growth (HQG). It explores the essential attributes of HQG, such as inclusiveness, sustainability, and resilience, as well as its relationship with transformation, by drawing principally on illustrative cases and instances of international cooperation. The United Nations document on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) states that “We resolve to create conditions for sustainable, inclusive and sustained economic growth, shared prosperity and decent work for all.” As such, the concept of quality growth is inherent in many aspects of the SDGs. A similar approach can be seen in the Development Cooperation Charter announced by the Japanese government in 2015. According to the Charter, one of the most important challenges of development is quality growth and the reduction of poverty achieved through such growth. The approach in the Charter emphasizes inclusiveness, sustainability, and resilience.This volume is a pioneering study on quality growth as well as its relationship with SDGs and transformation. Comprehensive studies on quality growth are very few. The case study approach distinguishes the present volume from some previous literature that discussed quality growth within the framework of general policy. Instead, in this book, concrete cases and experiences provide insights into hands-on “ingredients”. Through the case studies, it can be seen more clearly that transformation and quality growth are phenomena that do not occur automatically but, rather, ones that require specific, properly designed strategies and approaches. Another unique feature of this book is that it aims to make explicit some of the consistent, but implicit, principles of Japan’s international cooperation.

Se acabó el promedio: Cómo tener exito en un mundo que valora
by Todd Rose¿Estás por encima del promedio? ¿Es tu hijo un estudiante de primer nivel? ¿Es tu empleado una persona introvertida o extrovertida? Todos los días se nos mide con la vara de los promedios; se nos juzga por lo cercanos o lejanos que estamos a ella. La suposición de que una medida que nos compara con el promedio, como los escalones en el desarrollo, las pruebas de personalidad, los resultados estandarizados de exámenes y las evaluaciones de desempeño, revela algo significativo en cuanto a nuestro potencial se encuentra tan grabado en nuestra conciencia, que pocas veces lo cuestionamos. Todd Rose nos dice que esa suposición es espectacular y científicamente, errónea. En este libro, Rose demuestra que nadie es promedio. Pero aunque sabemos que los seres humanos aprendemos y nos desarrollamos de maneras distintas, estos patrones exclusivos de conducta se pierden en nuestras escuelas y empresas, que han sido diseñadas alrededor de esa mítica «persona promedio». Durante más de un siglo, este modelo ha pasado por alto nuestra individualidad y ha sido incapaz de reconocer el talento. Ha llegado la hora de cambiar esa situación. Combinando la ciencia y la historia con sus propias experiencias, Rose trae a la vida la historia sin narrar de cómo llegamos a aceptar la idea científicamente equivocada de que se pueden usar los promedios para entender a las personas, y ofrece una poderosa alternativa: los tres principios de individualidad. El principio de la irregularidad (el talento nunca es unidimensional), el principio del contexto (los rasgos son un mito) y el principio de las sendas (todos andamos por el camino menos recorrido) nos ayudan a comprender nuestra verdadera exclusividad, y la de los demás, y cómo aprovechar al máximo nuestra individualidad para tener una ventaja en la vida.
