“…Large numbers of CRs are small-scale and may not even be recorded in official data. There is more circumstantial evidence for the claim that redundancies have become a more convenient method for employers to dismiss workers (Benson 1985).

Attempts to show the wider social impact of collective redundancy creating recruits for the “flexible” sector of the labour force, those on temporary contracts, part time and self employed. Considers the way collective redundancy has changed the demographic structure of the UK labour force including a sizeable number of older unemployed individuals and many female part time workers. Argues that this could be seen as limited empowerment, labour market enfranchisement for women or marginalization of the traditional older male worker.
