      abstract = {Precarity is a key theme in political discourse, in media  and academic discussions of employment, and within the  labour movement. Often, the prevailing idea is of an  endless march of precarity, rendering work ever more  contingent and workers ever more disposable. However, this  detailed study of the UK labour force challenges the  picture of rising precarity and widespread use of temporary  employment, suggesting instead that employment tenure and  the extent of temporary work have proved stubbornly stable  over the past four decades. Choonara offers a new approach  to labour markets, drawing on the theoretical underpinnings  of Marxist political economy to interrogate research data  from the UK. This book examines why, despite the  deteriorating conditions in work, employment relations have  remained stable, and offers insight into the extent of  subjective insecurity among workers. Insecurity, Precarious  Work and Labour Markets will be of use to students and  scholars across the sociology of work, labour economics,  industrial relations and political economy.},
