The Sociology of Education and Work by David B Bills

The Sociology of Education and Work by David B Bills

The Sociology of Education and Work is a clear and engaging study of the links between schooling and the workplace in modern society. It explains, in accessible and lively prose, how these links have developed over time, what broad social trends are transforming them now, and offers some empirically-based projections about how these relationships are likely to develop in the future. Examines links between schooling and the modern workplace, from a sociological perspective. Combines and analyzes theory and studies in the sociology of education and the sociology of work. Includes case studies to illustrate conclusions drawn from a combined study of education and work. Written in a concise, readable format for students.

“David Bills’ brilliant synthesis and critique of research on the education/work nexus now stands as the definitive reference source on the topicIt is a masterful work by our leading authority on this important linkage.” David K. Brown, Illinois State University

“This is a crucial, up-to-date formulation of the relationship between credentialism, work skills, and stratification in today's society. This is the box that everyone is locked in, and Bills tells us the most important things we need to know about it.” Randall Collins, University of Pennsylvania
