Women and employment
The authors in this book examine twenty-five years of change in women's employment and address the challenges facing women today and look at how women's employment is shaped by family and domestic responsibilities. .They offer an analysis of how global changes including new migration processes, educational expansion, transnational labour markets, technological advances and the global economy affect women's labour market experiences. They tackle issues relevant for future change, including gender inequalities and ethnic diversities, and confront contentious questions such as what is meant by work-life balance. The book provides new empirical research that both advances our understanding of the challenges posed by women's employment in our changing society and draws out the policy lessons that could improve economic and social wellbeing.
