Unemployment is the focus of most reports on employment and is one standard used to measure the strength of the economy. Less attention is given to other issues regarding employment, such as underemployment. Underemployment is the composite of one or more of the following: involuntary part‐time work, involuntary temporary work, over‐qualification, and underpayment. Underemployment indicators are rarely used as economic indicators and the psychological consequences are understudied (Belle & Bullock, ).

As such, studying the psychological, social, economic, and policy implications of underemployment is of utmost importance, making the edited book by Douglas Maynard and Daniel Feldman, Underemployment: Psychological, Economic, and Social Challenges, a timely publication.
