- Description
- This book assesses the effects of globalization on the life courses of women in thirteen countries across Europe and America in the second half of the 20th century. It represents a longitudinal analysis of micro-level data from these OECD countries focusing exclusively on women’s relationship to the labor market in a globalizing world. The contributors examine women’s employment entries, exits and job mobility and present evidence of women’s increased labor market attachment and reduced employment quality in most of the countries studied. They also consider the life course changes influenced by larger transformations in society and, in doing so, explicitly link the phenomena of globalization to individual women’s lives in Europe and North America.

- Description
- Mothers experience a work-family conflict. Women struggle to balance breadwinning with the bulk of parenting. Social policies don’t help. Of all Western industrialized countries, the United States ranks last for supportive work-family policies: No federal paid parental leave. The highest gender wage gap. No minimum standard for vacation and sick days. The highest maternal and child poverty rates. Can American women look to European policies for solutions? This book draws on interviews that Collins conducted over five years with 135 middle-class working mothers in Sweden, Germany, Italy, and the United States. She explores how women navigate work and family given the different policy supports available in each country.
