touched upon but not in a systematic way. Equally, other relevant employment concerns are not addressed, such as the implications, positive and negative, of managing an increasingly multi-generational workforce. Nor is the policy perspective sufficiently informed by what governments around the world are doing beyond prohibiting age discrimination (the subject of a number of studies by, for example, the ILO and OECD). Of course, a single book cannot address everything, but there is a tendency to sometimes over-elaborate on methods at the cost of further developing context. This no doubt relates to its origins as a doctorate in law and the breadth of methods employed in its pursuit. That said, the author demonstrates a high level of competency with mixed methods and establishes a good case for the utility of socio-legal research. The book deserves to be read not just by legal scholars and students of jurisprudence, for whom the political economy and mixed methods approaches will be insightful, but anyone with an interest in age discrimination in employment, i.e., frankly, us all.

蓝领磨损：明天的经济中的工人

触及但未系统地 同样，没有解决其他相关的就业问题，例如管理越来越多代的劳动力带来的正面和负面影响。除了禁止年龄歧视（例如，国际劳工组织和经合组织的许多研究的主题）以外，世界各国政府在做什么方面也没有充分了解政策观点。当然，一本书不能解决所有问题，但有时会以进一步发展上下文为代价而过度阐述方法。毫无疑问，这与它作为法律博士学位的起源以及追求它所采用的方法的广泛性有关。就是说，作者展示了使用混合方法的高水平能力，并为社会法律研究的实用性奠定了良好的案例。
