The\u00a0 2019\u00a0 conference\u00a0 will\u00a0 additionally\u00a0 focus\u00a0 on\u00a0 \u2018Fragmentations\u00a0 and\u00a0 Solidarities\u2019\u00a0 in contemporary work and employment relations. Recent developments in the economy and society\u00a0 challenge\u00a0 the\u00a0 institutional\u00a0 frameworks\u00a0 of\u00a0 employment,\u00a0 accelerating\u00a0 the\u00a0 ongoing processes of deregulation and flexibilisation. This reiterates segregation along the lines of gender, ethnicity and qualifications and creates new formal and symbolic boundaries within the\u00a0 workforce.\u00a0 Furthermore,\u00a0 transnational\u00a0 forms\u00a0 of\u00a0 work\u00a0 organization\u00a0 and\u00a0 global\u00a0 value

\nchains modify and partly intensify the divisions of labour, deepening the unequal distribution
\nof wealth, ecological hazard, and risk to health and social security among employees in the
\nworld. Global inequality, in return, pushes workers to leave their home countries and migrate
\nto adjacent or more distant formal or informal labour markets, raising the issue of solidarity
\nwithin\u00a0 and\u00a0 between\u00a0 the\u00a0 formally\u00a0 and\u00a0 informally\u00a0 employed\u00a0 workforces.\u00a0 Finally,\u00a0 new
\ntechnologies appear to increase their impacts in uncertain directions: augmenting the share
\nof\u00a0 knowledge\u00a0 work\u00a0 and\u00a0 improving\u00a0 skill\u00a0 levels,\u00a0 threatening\u00a0 jobs,\u00a0 and\/or\u00a0 increasing\u00a0 the
\npressure on workers and the scope of managerial control. There is considerable risk of new
\nfragmentations\u00a0 of\u00a0 employment\u00a0 according\u00a0 to\u00a0 different\u00a0 skill\u00a0 levels,\u00a0 forms\u00a0 of\u00a0 contract\u00a0 and
\nlocations of work.“<\/p>\n
