The strategic economic governance of Greater Manchester’s local labour market by the local state: Implications for young workers
研究了英国地方国家如何通过战略经济治理影响年轻工人的工作与就业条件，发现新自由主义改革导致低薪工作扩张和劳动过程强化。
This article explores how work and employment conditions for young workers are affected by the actions of the state at the spatial scale of the locality. The article argues that young workers have experienced deteriorating labour market conditions following shifts in the form which capitalist accumulation takes in the UK. This shift has altered the composition of the national state which has in turn led to changes in how it regulates both local labour markets and the economic strategies of the local state. One result of these changes is the diffusion of neoliberal labour market reforms which have led to negative material consequences for young workers; these are manifest in the expansion of low-waged work concentrated in a small number of sectors, and characterized by an intensified labour process.
