Social work programmes offer a professional qualification with a primary objective of addressing issues of oppression in society. This furnishes a curriculum that prioritises practice-based social work education, alongside the very structural components that create the oppression of race, gender, age and ethnicity of its citizens. Intersectionality is rarely considered mainstream, with a preference for linear, one-dimensional theory, rather than a multilevel theoretical framework towards anti-oppressive practice. Using an adapted voice-centred relational model, the study examines the intersecting experiences of sex workers in the Republic of Ireland. The findings indicate that sex workers primarily work indoors, hold precarious legal status and are situated in Ireland as a response to global migration and economic necessity. The research argues for a revised (intersecting) critical framework for social work education that challenges current sex-work narratives and policies that reinforce 'helping relationships' of surveillance, regulation and the exclusion of sex workers.

The Sociology of Work was first published in 1954. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. What are the effects of working conditions, rewards, and habits upon the institution of the family? What are the typical forms of occupational segregation, and what are the effects of such segregation upon the general society? How are the social roles appropriate to each occupation created and sustained? What social processes determine the evolution of occupational groupings and the distribution of population among them?This work, a basic study in occupational sociology, throws light on such questions as these. Professor Caplow describes the occupational system with reference to specialization, occupational status, the formation of professions, mobility, the patterning of individual careers, the occupations of women, and the prospects for continued improvement of working conditions. He draws upon hundreds of empirical studies for his discussions. The book has been warmly received by reviewers and readers. Robert Dublin commented in the American Journal of Sociology: "This volume will long stand as a sourcebook of hypotheses and thesis topics for students of industrial sociology." Writing in the American Sociological Review, George Caspar Homans called it "a wide-ranging and hard-headed study of American jobs, their place and nature." Robert C. Stone said in Social Forces: "The work is a major contribution to the study of social structure."The many specialist workers who are concerned with occupational problemsindustrial and applied psychologists, personnel and guidance workers, wage economists, labor relations experts, and otherswill find this a valuable reference work. It is, of course, pertinent to the interests of general sociologists and anthropologists, and is used as a text in a number of courses in occupational sociology

Reports interviews with workers and managers in two organizations,
concerning the relationship between effort and performance at work. The
findings show that a high proportion of those interviewed reported
working longer than their contractual weekly hours without receiving
extra payment and that respondents had a commitment to completing their
work within the deadlines imposed. Effort was seen as coming from
imposed job pressures, not conscious decisions by staff to achieve
self‐determined goals. Managers tended to be unhappy about the poor
relationship between their work effort and their performance outputs.
Workers doing routine jobs, however, had difficulty in saying whether
their time at work was spent effectively. Discusses implications for
quality of service and standards of work.

Harry M Markowitz received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1990 for his pioneering work in portfolio theory. He also received the von Neumann Prize from the Institute of Management Science and the Operations Research Institute of America in 1989 for his work in portfolio theory, sparse matrices and the SIMSCRIPT computer language. While Dr Markowitz is well-known for his work on portfolio theory, his work on sparse matrices remains an essential part of linear optimization calculations. In addition, he designed and developed SIMSCRIPT - a computer programming language. SIMSCRIPT has been widely

Editors Evans and Keating present readers with a collection of academic essays designed to allow for critical thinking regarding the relationship between policy and practice in social work. The editors argue that social policy is central to social work practice. The ten contributions that make up the text focus on discretion in history and the development of social work, social work education and training as a policy issue, the development of safeguarding in children's services, and many other related subjects. The editors are both faculty members of the University of London in the UK.
