This chapter aims to discuss the key elements of the first volume and highlight the main areas for exploration.

This volume shows that more needs to be done to promote work and welfare and most importantly remove hidden inequalities from the workplace. The chapter provides a review of the volume’s structure, objectives and context with the scope to enable the reader to briefly assess the main issues covered in the first volume.
