Through his work with EWERC, Damian has published on a range of topics. Within the UK, research has covered the way large organisations manage employment change and the implications for labour costs and work intensification. And, as part of the ESRC Future of Work project at UMIST, he has published on public private partnerships and the limitations of the so-called 'network' organisational model. During 2001 he worked with Jill Rubery on a report funded by the Equal Opportunities Commission and the National Task Force for Equal Pay, and in 2002, work funded by the Low Pay Commission involved a study of small firm responses to the National Minimum Wage. Comparative research includes being part of the coordinating team of experts for the European Commission's gender and employment group, reporting on issues related to the European Employment Strategy and, during 2002, the development of a new gender pay gap indicator. Other comparative research involves analyses of training systems (International Labour Organisation), occupational pay (OECD) and, during 2002-2003 with funding from the Anglo-German Foundation, a study of computer services firms in Germany and the UK. 2004 was spent researching the developmental effects of knowledge-intensive business services in Argentina and Brazil (British Academy). Current projects include a European comparison of low-wage work in the health sector (Russell Sage Foundation) and a sector-based study of diversity of European employment systems (European Commission). Findings from these different areas of research have contributed to policy efforts to narrow the gender pay gap and to improve the position of low paid workers, as well as to debates over the new realities of work.
