Elaborating decent work for agriculture: Job experiences and workforce retention in the Australian orchard industry

This new article, the fruit of the work of some members of the IAWA association, is published in Journal of rural studies. It is a contribution to examine the utiliy of the decent work concept as it relates to the problem of workforce retention. it addresses this using a case study of waged workers' experiences of their jobs in the perennial horticulture (orchard) sector in one region of the Australian state of Victoria, focusing on permanent employees (that is, waged workers engaged in more than seasonal or temporary work)
