Global Cities at Work New Migrant Divisions of Labour
Author: Jane Wills, Kavita Datta, Jara Evans, Joanna Herbert, Jon May, Cathy McIlwaine
This book is about the people who always get taken for granted. The people who clean our offices and trains, care for our elders and change the sheets on the bed.

Global Cities at Work raises the level of debate about migrant labor, encouraging policy-makers, journalists and social scientists to look behind the headlines. The book calls us to take a politically-informed geographical view of our urban labor markets and to prioritize the issue of working poverty and its implications for both unemployment and community cohesion.
