On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Abstract:
This paper provides new information and data on how work and pay actually operated for skilled and semi-skilled men on large London construction projects, and for the first time, offers detailed firm level evidence on the number of days per year worked by men. The results indicate that construction workers’ working hours and days were bounded by structural factors in both supply and demand, and that men worked a far lower number of days than has been assumed until now.
