The Politics of Unpaid Labour
This book presents a theory of the politics of unpaid labour which explains why and how its study is important for addressing inequality in precarious work. It focuses on the class divisions of unpaid labour, the role played by unpaid labour in the distribution and exchange of both economic and symbolic resources, and various forms of capital. It reveals the inter-connectedness and ‘relationality’ of various forms of work across various spaces and domains by presenting evidence of class-based inequality based on the individual and collective resources available to sustain unpaid labour within various sectors and occupational practices. It explores the various aspects of unpaid labour and examine how they are integrated into different national institutions and socio-economic contexts.
