| Description | The central thesis of this book is that gender inequality in the workplace is generated and reinforced by national policies and conditions. The authors look at four empirical chapters on employment, work hours, occupational sex segregation, and the gender wage gap. The contours of inequality across and within countries are shaped by specific aspects of social policy that either relieve or concentrate the demands of care giving within households—usually in the hands of women—and at the same time shape workplace expectations. Pettit and Hook make a strong case that equality for women in the workplace depends not on whether women are included in the labor market but on how they are included. The research draws on data from twenty-one industrialized nations to compare women’s and men’s economic outcomes across nations, and over time. |
