*Give your views about the future of the Journal*
When the Journal was established in 2006, we aimed for it to be
international, interdisciplinary, accessible to non-academics and to
contribute to the development of a dialogue among scholars and policy
makers about the future of work. It has developed a profile as a respected
and widely-cited resource on the restructuring of work and the changing
global division of labour and an international community has grown up
around it.

At a time when academic publishing is facing major new challenges, we are
now formulating plans to take the journal forward in a way that makes it
sustainable in the Open Access era, while staying faithful to our original
aims.

We are inviting you, as a member of our global community, to give us your
views about how the journal should evolve in the future and help us develop
initiatives that can open up new forms of dialogue among contributors and
readers.

*Call for Papers*
This special issue on *Researching Precarious, Virtual and Clandestine
Labour: Methodological and Ethical Challenges *focuses on the challenges
posed by researching non-standard work in the 21st century. We particularly
welcome contributions that look specifically at the methodological and
ethical challenges confronting researchers investigating labour in the
context of digitalisation and globalisation based on recent quantitative or
qualitative research, though this is not a requirement for submission. We
welcome articles from a range of different disciplinary perspectives
including (but not limited to) labour sociology, political economy,
economic geography, urban planning, policy analysis, philosophy, research
methods and gender studies. Articles may draw on the authors’ original
quantitative, qualitative or theoretical research but must demonstrate a
clear contribution to knowledge and go beyond mere literature reviews.
The deadline for submissions is March 28th, 2021 and articles should be
submitted to ursulahuws at analyticapublications.co.uk
*For all requirements, see the full call for papers here.

*NEW BOOK OFFER: 35% off Reinventing the Welfare State: Digital Platforms
and Public Policies by Ursula Huws*
The welfare state is unfit for purpose – how can we transform it into a
force for equality and social justice? As the number of unemployed people
in the UK rise, and we are heading towards one of the greatest recessions
in the history of capitalism, now is the time to think seriously about
rethinking and rebuilding the welfare state for a broken country.
In this book, leading analyst Ursula Huws proposes new and original policy
ideas, including critical discussions of Universal Basic Income and new
legislation for universal workers' rights, as well as outlining a 'digital
welfare state' for the 21st century.
These fresh ideas breathe new life into an outdated system, and herald the
start of a new and urgent discussion that could improve the lives of
millions.

The use of algorithms for monitoring and predicting consumer behaviour and
controlling work and workers grew exponentially in the second decade of the
21st century, doubling between 2016 and 2019 in the UK. In this timely
collection, WOLG's latest issue brings together scholarship on urbanisation
from South and East Asia and Latin America, as well as from across Europe
The issue analyses the evolution of platformisation and describes some of
its impacts on urban spaces, identity and working life at the moment cities
were struck by the impact of the coronavirus epidemic. It provides a vital
underpinning for understanding the explosive changes currently taking
place.
