- Summary
- Uses an integrated approach building on behavioural economics, sociological economics and economic sociology to examine why the expanding expectations regarding challenging and well-paid jobs are leading to a growing number of mismatches between employees and their occupation. Considers issues of overqualification and underqualification, geographical mismatches, temporal overworking or underworking, and earnings and work-family mismatches. Suggests a policy agenda with the objective to reducing these gaps.
