Guy Standing is Professor of Economic Security at the University of 
Bath in the UK. Prior to joining the University of Bath in 2006, he was 
Director of the Socio-Economic Security Programme of the International 
Labour Organisation in Geneva. He has authored, co-authored and edited 
more than 25 books and has published widely in academic journals. In 
2009 he was elected to the Academy of Social Sciences.

Standing has just completed a book on occupations, linked to the global 
transformation of work and labour (Work After Globalization: Building 
Occupational Citizenship, Edward Elgar, 2009). Recurrent themes of his 
research, often drawing on extensive household and workplace surveys, 
have been the insecurities faced by workers in the wake of reforms of 
labour law, labour regulation and social protection, and the rationale 
for moving towards unconditional income transfers. A key question 
linking these themes is whether or not a global labour market model is 
emerging.
