The transformation of work and employment relations: COVID-19 and beyond

Abstract

first online conference, then turn to the Presidential Address delivered by Professor Andrew Stewart on the future of labour research, policy and regulation. We then introduce three papers that examine the impact of COVID-19 across key sectors and occupations – police work, domestic work and academia. This is followed by two papers examining broader gendered and generational transitions in the labour market. We conclude our Editorial Introduction with reflections on the future of work as we learn to live with COVID-19, including directions for future research in employment relations arising from this collection of papers.
