Introducing the Employment Standards Database: A Research Database for Comparing Employment Standards Awareness and Violations Across National/Regional Contexts
The Employment Standards Database (ESD) is a research database for comparing employment standards awareness and violations across national/regional contexts. The ESD brings together a library of relevant sources, unique user-friendly statistical tables, and a thesaurus of concepts, all designed to facilitate research on labour market insecurity in a comparative industrialized context. Users can analyze multidimensional tables to explore and compare the contours of precarious employment in Australia, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. It is designed for experts and novices, and can be used for research and as an interactive classroom teaching tool.
At our online launch event on Feb 7 (12-1pm), we will provide an overview of the ESD, and provide a hands-on demonstration of its use. Registrants will receive login information by email prior to the event. Register using the QR code on the poster or follow the link below, and contact Tim Gadanidis tdg@yorku.ca with any questions.
