Opting back in
The authors revisit women, first interviewed a decade earlier in Pamela Stone’s book 'Opting Out? Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home' about taking a career break of high-level jobs to raise children. They talk about the challenges when they return to work. Most succeed, but not in their former white-collar jobs due to the lack of flexibility in hours, but in lower-paid jobs in the gig economy or predominantly female nonprofit sector. An account of the consequences for women seeking to strike a work/life balance, how women can reinvent their careers, and the policy reforms needed in the upper strata of the labour market where patriarchy and capitalism operates.- Creator

Labour markets, gender and institutional change
The multidisciplinary contributions, which cover a variety of theoretical approaches, are all concerned with transitional labor markets and labor market policy in the new global economic environment. The authors first address current arguments and controversies regarding appropriate institutions for the formation and implementation of labor market and employment policies. They move on to focus on the policies and problems associated with enhancing gender equality in terms of labor market integration and transitions. Finally, they examine new institutional arrangements that they believe will both enhance the performance of transitional labor markets and improve the management of social risks. .Combining a theoretical approach with empirical research and a strong policy emphasis, the scope and diversity of this book will ensure a broad audience among economists, political scientists and academics in the fields of labor market theory and policy.- Creator

Shadow mothers
Based on interviews with professional women and childcare providers— immigrant and American-born nannies and European au pairs- the author explores the relations between mothers and their childcare providers in broader cultural and social tensions. She argues that the conflicts between them arise from unrealistic ideals about mothering, inflexible career paths and work schedules, the devaluation of paid care work.- Creator

Making motherhood work

Making motherhood work
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.- Creator

The second shift
Aan de hand van voorbeelden laat de schrijfster zien wat het betekent voor vrouwen om te werken en kinderen te verzorgen. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat slechts in twintig procent van de gevallen de vrouw het huishouden deelt met de man. Deze dubbele belasting voor vrouwen heeft ziekte en uitputting tot gevolg. Ook aanwezig in Nederlandse vertaling: De late dienst: werkende ouders en de thuisrevolutie (1990).- Creator
