International employment law experts provide a comparative study of the contract of employment across three closely related common law jurisdictions: the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Adopting a thematic approach, they analyse the key facets of the common law of employment such as who is an employee, the implied duties of employees and the restraints on employee mobility. Examining the interaction between common law and domestic statutory law and the politics and labour relations systems, this book considers the legal variations for each jurisdiction and its response to new developments in employment. It addresses the capacity of the common law to respond to contemporary developments such as the `gig'' economy and the increasingly intrusive surveillance of employees, both at work and in their private lives.

Insightful and contemporary, this book will appeal to students and scholars of employment and contract law as well as those studying comparative law more widely. Practitioners involved in employment policy or employment litigation will also benefit from the wealth of up-to-date knowledge on common law trends and developments.

Chapters explore the need for stronger regulatory employment models to ensure the economic security and personal autonomy of workers. They also highlight the need for enhanced support and flexible working conditions, particularly for casual workers and those on the margins of the workforce. The book debates the ethics of surveillance technology and draws parallels between excessive control and psycho-social harm in the workplace. Reflecting on the global fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, it addresses the impact of shifting professional relationships on working conditions and contracts, which are predominantly dictated by employers.

An essential resource for students in employment law, human resources management and industrial relations, this book will also benefit government policy advisors and employers researching labour market regulations.

This book addresses the disparities that arise when measuring and modeling societal behavior and progress across the social sciences. It looks at why and how different disciplines and even researchers can use the same data and yet come to different conclusions about equality of opportunity, economic and social mobility, poverty and polarization, and conflict and segregation. Because societal behavior and progress exist only in the context of other key aspects, modeling becomes exponentially more complex as more of these aspects are factored into considerations. The content of this book transcends disciplinary boundaries, providing valuable information on measuring and modeling to economists, sociologists, and political scientists who are interested in data-based analysis of pressing social issues.
