Abstract

The chapter focuses on work and explain the processes and the mechanisms nurturing the way in which structural changes have affected work and employment conditions from the 20st capitalist societies onwards, with a particular focus on Europe. It provides a sociological and historical analysis of these changes which have accompanied the transitions of employment at national, industry, local and transnational levels, and it assesses its antecedents and driving forces. Especially, it examines how 'social order' as the 'employment governance regime' is guaranteed within changing socio-economic and socio-institutional contexts. It points to the shift from the 'welfare state capitalism' regime during Fordism to the emergence of the post-Fordist 'flexible capitalism' regime, and explains how this shift has caused much precarious employment whose conditions have been exacerbated during the COVID pandemic, and it reflects on the emergency of the environmental situation within the scope of the European Green Deal.
