Casualisation, the Gig Economy and Piece Work in Education: Dilemmas for Leaders in Times of Increasing Precarity

This book examines a range of ethical complexities associated with precarious work across educational sectors internationally, complemented by reflections. Combined, it highlights the impacts of neoliberal market-driven policies on the education sector and presents a series of possible ’pathways forward’ for education workers.
