Anatomy of Job Loss (Routledge Revivals) - The How, Why and Where of Employment Decline

Informationen zum Autor Doreen Massey, Richard Meegan Zusammenfassung This title, first published in 1982, adopted a new approach to the geography of job loss, to assess why redundancy happens and where. Massey and Meegan argue that an increase in dismissal does not necessarily mean that an industry is in decline; rather, it can be the result of a variety of issues, including production for profit and the relationship between industry and location.
