The Spatial Anatomy of Working at Home: Concepts, Measures and Types of Spaces Used
This article provides a spatial analysis of working at home. It makes distinctions according to the extent to which the boundaries of work and home spatially overlap. Using this conceptual lens, it deploys data from Britain′s Skills and Employment Survey to track the trends and patterns of homeworking and hybrid working over the last two decades. The article also examines the type of home spaces used. It identifies the characteristics of those wh…
Devolution and Power: Employment Rights, Bargaining and Risk
This article considers the implications of further constitutional devolution for the regulation of work and employment, taking Wales as its case study. It reviews the current profile of the Welsh labour market, the climate for industrial relations and existing structures of pay determination and collective bargaining in this context. The article concludes that devolution presents risks as well as potential benefits, especially where the collectiv…
Is job quality better or worse? Insights from quiz data collected before and after the pandemic
This article is based on data collected from almost 100,000 individuals who completed the www.howgoodismyjob.com quiz either side of the pandemic. The results show that overall non‐pecuniary job quality has improved, differences between occupations have shrunk and the growth of remote working is a factor behind these trends
The Impact of Social Isolation Due to Covid-19 on Symptom Progression in People With Dementia: Findings of the Solitude Study
PWD's symptoms and carers' burden remained stable over 6 months of observation. However, the amount of time spent under social restrictions before T0 appears to have had a significant detrimental impact on cognitive performance of patients. In fact, carer-reported cognitive decline during social isolation was consistent with the finding of poorer semantic memory, a domain sensitive to progression in Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, the initial str…
Devolution and geographies of education: The use of the Millennium Cohort Study for ‘home international’ comparisons across the UK
Following political devolution in the late 1990s and the establishment of the governments for Wales and Scotland, the education systems of the four home countries of the UK have significantly diverged. Consequently, not only does that mean that education research in the UK has to be sensitive to such divergence, but that the divergence of policy and practice provides an important opportunity to undertake comparative research within the UK. Such ‘…

Collective Learning, Effective Demand, Loss of Work and Loss of Direction: The Growing Regional Divide within the UK
MacKay R. R. and Davies R. Collective learning, effective demand, loss of work and loss of direction: the growing regional divide within the UK, Regional Studies. The local economy relies on a division of labour that develops highly specialized skills.

Exploring Neglected Dimensions of Social Policy: The SDW, Fiscal Welfare and the Exemplar of Local Taxation in England
Titmuss's Social Division of Welfare (SDW) thesis is a vitally important but much neglected element of social policy analysis. This article seeks to explore the SDW, with a particular focus on fiscal welfare. Fiscal welfare has been described as forming a hidden welfare state, and while taxation is one of the main ways in which governments affect the lives of citizens, studies of welfare pay remarkably little attention to its impact. Fiscal welfa…

Explicit commentaries and implicit designs: The evolving role of post-production sound in mainstream documentary
This article, focusing exclusively on sound design, examines how technology has defined the shape and structure of mainstream documentary production through three distinct eras: The Post-Sound Dubbing (1930–1959). Location Sound Origination (1960–2000). The Digital Domain (2000–). It also looks at the potential of creative sound design in contemporary commercial documentary and presents a modern production aesthetic that concentrates on sound des…
