Note from the editor 3-2014

In several issues of CLR-News attention was paid to pay and working conditions in construction. Moreover, in other subject articles the emphasis was not only on the material side, but also the quality of the jobs, the development of the incidence of low-wage work, plus the market and institutional settings for labour conditions. Next to this CLR published about cross-border mobility, workers' rights and such important sectoral themes as vocational training and health and safety on site. The focus has often been on Europe, the European Union and related policies.
In this issue the Journal goes to a certain extent beyond these borders. Although the items treated in the subject articles look familiar, the authors of the first three articles tackle problems in construction labour in non-EU countries and around the globe.
