"This study analyses the extent and nature of female unpaid work in the context of rural households in India. In particular, the study looks at the relationship between land ownership and the extent of domestic duties , performed by females, adjusted by family size, in rural agricultural households. Further, the study considers the role of socioeconomic and socio-religious class and the engagement of women in domestic duties. The study uses the Indian National Sample Survey quinquennial round of ; employment and unemployment survey data for the period 2011-2012. To find out the relationship between various land ownership modalities and domestic duties performed by females, the study makes use of the fractional logit regression model. The empirical result suggests that there is a greater 1 probability of more women workers getting involved in unpaid work as the ' land-ownership size of the household increases. Further, it is seen that the probability that females engaged in unpaid work is greater for those in casual agricultural households with large land cultivated than for those who are in self-employed households. The study finds that the proportion of rural women engaged in domestic duties is 34 per cent, and the majority of them want to work either on a regular or part-time basis (74 per cent) as well as be able to attend to domestic duties. These results suggest that more effective labour market policy, which will encourage women to participate in paid work, is needed. Moreover, family-friendly policies and initiatives that encourage a more equitable sharing of the burden of care and household chores between males and females are required."

"Recently the low of labour from China to Indonsia has fuelled many discussions but is not a new Phenomenon. It can be traced back to the eighteenth century and continued until the twetieth century. In colonial Indonesia, the Chinese labour force was recruted to wok in the economic sector of mining, plantations, fisheries and forestry. Unfortunately, previos studies about Chinese sociey indonesia more focused on economic and political elites rather than the social history of the Chinese contract coolies. This article attempts to look at the labour history of the Chinese coolie in the forest explotation companies, know as panglong. By focusing on the ways in which they were treated in the recruitement process and workplace, this article show that change for the better did take place in the appalling working conditions of the labourers. Until the second decade of the twentieth century, recruitment, food,and health care were rife with manupulations, exacerbated by arduous working condition and insecurity in the workplace, abuse of power by mandors and forms of non-economics coercion like the use of opium. All these factors were meants to ensure that the Chinese contract laboureres could not break koose form their indentures, a modern form of slavery. Hampered by budgetary restrictions, lack of personnel, and marine transport facility, the state colonial offcial were hamstrung But in the second decade of twetienth century, when the abysmal working conditions of the CHinese coolies were debated on a higher lebel by policians and bureanracts state control was tightened. More effectual contorl by the state had a positive effect on improving of the working and living conditions."

"This volume explores these issues with special reference to Italy. Italy is characterized by very low participation rates (particularly women’s), a high degree of fragmentation of labour contracts and a very intense non-standard work diffusion that make this context a particularly interesting case for analysis. New elements of discussion are provided with reference to the interaction of non-standard work, employment probability and living conditions. Interesting insights on the impact of non-standard work on the transition to stable employment and workers’ careers emerge, suggesting a possible failure of companies’ internal systems of work evaluation. The effects on labour productivity and on companies’ performance are analysed. "

"ABSTRAKThe personal scope of employment law is the subject of much ongoing debate. Arguing that an exclusively contractual analysis of this domain is unsatisfactory, the author constructs a European-based empirical typology distinguishing the personal work relations of standard "employees", public officials, "liberal professions", individual entrepreneurial workers, marginal workers, and labour market entrants. These categories and their inter-relationships are then analysed dynamically in terms of "personal work nexuses" - a concept encompassing complex legal ramifications beyond the contractual framework. The conclusions highlight the value of this analytical approach to recent efforts by the ILO and the European Commission to "modernize" labour law."
