Welcome!
Welcome to the companion website for Modern Labour Economics by Peter Sloane, Paul Latreille and Nigel O’Leary.
Labour economics as a discipline has changed dramatically in recent years. Gone are the days of a “job for life”. These days, firms and employees are part of a less regulated, more fluid, and more international labour market. Knowledge, training, human resource development and human capital are all major factors on the contemporary scene. Modern Labour Economics is the first properly international textbook to reflect these swingeing changes, and is an essential resource for those studying labour economics at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
On this accompanying website, you will find the following resources:
- Multiple Choice Questions, designed for students to test their knowledge on each topic
- A selection of essay-style questions from each chapter in the book with skeleton answers
- Downloadable tables and figures from the book
- A compilation of useful web-links, organised by chapter.
