Workplace stress? An exit exists

Just discovered the Work Organisation Labour & Globalisation think tank, based in the UK, that's published research to support the arguments made in Winning by Sharing (A new way of working. A different way of doing business).

There is a downloadable abstract of a paper that "explores the shock experienced by people working in the publishing industry when faced with losing their jobs to the Indian labour market".  It also finds that contrary to perception Indian workers have equally insecure careers. 

There are also studies on the impact of globalisation in the context of work.  "As a result labour is also subjected to the dynamics of the global economy with consequences for working conditions, wages, job security, skills and benefits.  This is one of the reasons why the 'informal' economy is growing.  An exit exists:

from:

a fossil energy regime and its often precarious forms of labour

to:

the use of renewable energy, participatory and cooperative ways to organise production."

Shameless plug:  This is exactly what ki work enables.  The Japanese word ‘ki’ loosely translated means "trusted relationship".
