People today have greater access to information than ever previously thought possible, and through the acquisition of knowledge feel, they have more control and certainty in their lives. New usages of IT, the expansion of smart phones and tablets, and the arrival of the Internet generation in the job market now mean that the separation between private life and professional life has become muddled. A challenge for modern organisations is whether to allow employees to use their own devices or attempt to halt this advancing tide. Although there is some disagreement about the drivers and perceived benefits, an increasing number of organisations are beginning to accept the practice of “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD). In view of this emerging trend in the modern workplace, this chapter outlines a number of risk control and mitigation strategies that organisations may consider adopting to address the challenges associated with BYOD that lie ahead.

The study examines a vast panorama of the policies on which depend the living and working conditions of young people. Measures were examined that can be enacted on a regional level starting from the concrete experience of 6 Regional Governments in as many European countries. The book shows that a true “Youth Guarantee” must guarantee support for the complexity of the transitions that characterise young person’s life and shows how this must be adapted to the different conditions the various segments of young population live in. The wealth and variety of concrete experiences offered by regional policies show how it is possible to activate public ations that, having adequate ingredients, will be able to lessen the negative effects of the economic crisis and allow young people to take one step ahead at any time in their private and professional life.

‘Shakespeare in London’ describes Shakespeare’s professional life in London and what is known about his private life at that time. It considers how he worked and where his plays came from. Shakespeare borrowed the narrative material of almost all his plays from books, whether fictional, mythical, historical, or theatrical, but he turned this raw material into original drama. It also describes his poems that seem to be composed for his own pleasure; a collection of 154 of these sonnets were published in 1609 by Thomas Thorpe. Shakespeare’s writing career seems to have come to an end around the time that the Globe burnt down, in June 1613, but was this just a coincidence?

Abstract An increasing number of jobs are precarious, making workers vulnerable to various forms of ill-treatment and exploitation. The UK Government’s main approach has been to criminalise the actions of unscrupulous employers who seek to exploit these. This approach, however, has been ineffective, partly because it ignores the broader socio-economic structures that place workers in conditions of vulnerability. This article develops an alternative solution, seeking to identify structures that force and trap workers in conditions of exploitation. It focuses specifically on what I call ‘state-mediated structural injustice', where legislative schemes that promote otherwise legitimate aims create vulnerabilities that force and trap workers in conditions of exploitation. I use examples such as restrictive visa regimes, prison work and work in immigration detention, welfare conditionality programmes, and zero-hour contracts to illustrate the unjust structures. I finally assess whether these legal structures are compatible with human rights, such as the right to private life, the prohibition of slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and the right to fair and just working conditions.

The education area is being deeply affected by COVID-19, and Brazilian students are trying to adapt. This chapter aims to research how postgraduate students are dealing with the challenges of the pandemic. From the following research question, “How did COVID-19 impact different dimensions of students´ lives enrolled at master and doctorate programmes?” the chapter describes the challenges that students from Master and Doctorate programmes of two federal institutes are dealing with and the future perspectives in the context of the pandemic. The research methodology is based on an exploratory approach, grounded on a survey for data regarding the impacts of COVID-19 in three dimensions: private life, professional life, and academic life, aiming to understand if and how their research and educational products development were affected. The results show that, despite stress and efforts, the students could adapt their research for the pandemic situation.

Working And Living Conditions

The article is devoted to the set of signs and consequences of unstable employment, expressed in the desire and readiness to find abnew job with better working conditions. The article identifies two groups of factors that affect the probability of finding another job: 1)ba set of social and labor characteristics; 2)bа personal desire for professional and career growth. The willingness to change the place of work is manifested through the individual response of the working person to the working and living conditions. The search for abbetter job is most often prompted by such undesirable social and labor factors as employment without ablabor contract, underemployment or flexible work schedule, temporary nature of work, availability of additional work and overtime, dissatisfaction with working conditions, lack of labor safety guarantees, discrepancy between the place of permanent residence and the place of work (shift work, pendulum migration), etc. Abstimulating factor in the search for abbetter job is also the desire for professional or career growth. According to our research, employed respondents who believe that their level of education and qualifications allow them to perform more difficult work are more likely to search for another, namely abbetter job.
