Condition: new. Pages: 262 Language: Finnish. Kestävä työ ja hyvä elämä on kirja työelämän historiasta, nykyisyydestä ja tulevaisuudesta. Perinteinen palkansaajayhteiskunta on tullut tiensä päähän. Tulevaisuudessa työelämän sirpaloituminen jatkuu edelleen ja jyrkät ansiotuloihin ja sitä kautta hyvinvointiin liittyvät erot syvenevät entisestään. Yksittäiset ihmiset joutuvat ponnistelemaan yhä ankarammin selvitäkseen elämässään. Monille kilpailu käy liian kovaksi. Miten tähän on tultu? Onko mitään tehtävissä? Vai onko vain pärjättävä parhaansa mukaan? Ratkaisuja on tavattu etsiä taloudellisen toiminnan laajentamisesta ja tehostamisesta. Tämä ei enää käy päinsä. Ihmiskunnan taloudellisten toimintojen tuloksena koko elonkehän olemassaolon perustat ovat hauraat jo nyt. Mutta hyvän elämän edellytykset voidaan luoda myös nykyistä niukemmissa aineellisissa oloissa. On mahdollista luoda kestävän työn kulttuuri, joka avaa ihmisille mahdollisuuden nykyistä laadukkaampaan elämään. Kestävä työ ja hyvä elämä on painava ja pitkäjänteiseen tutkimustyöhön perustuva puheenvuoro keskustelussa Suomen ja hyvinvointivaltion uhkista ja mahdollisuuksista 2000-luvun globaalissa ympäristössä. 9789524953252.

Though Nanny Still has worked increasingly in an international context, she has retained her distinctive Finnish qualities. She is noted for her unparalleled sense of beauty, simple and organic sources of inspiration, refined composition, and her perfect adaptation of technical processes to optimize the desired effects. As a testament to her talent, her Harlequin û a ôcharming liqueur carafe with its round, globular formsö û has become a classic work of Finnish design.
