The articles in this anthology deal with several challenges of generational, gendered, economic and sexual relations as well as with the changes of the institutions of marriage, state, religion, welfare and taxation. It focuses primarily on a European and North Atlantic context. but it also includes some refelctions on developments in Asia in a global era.
Exploring three key domains, this book presents different perspectives from gender-focused economics and social research. It covers marriage and women's position within the household: the options available to women outside of marriage and in the context of their community: and overarching discriminatory laws and cultural norms.
