The research question
How do employment loss and changing media markets reshape available forms of work?
How it connects to Volume III
Connects industrial restructuring with screen-based work and the institutions surrounding economic insecurity.
Evidence and limits
Resolve manuscript variants before releasing a longer text. Distinguish voluntary work, constrained choice and coercion; employment and incarceration trends alone do not prove a causal pathway.
