- Description
- 'A qualitative study of the influences of attitudes on work preferences and employment patterns of Dutch mothers. It shows that a woman’s employment behaviour is the result of a dynamic relationship between her personal work preferences and gender and work attitudes on the one hand, and her work experiences and cultural normative gender expectations on the other, rather than the outcome of a free choice. The study further reveals the prevalence of ‘a narrative of non-complaining’ among Dutch mothers regarding their spouses’ contribution to the home work.'

- Description
- 'In this report authors give an overview of the most important laws protecting women’s rights as workers. .With this goal in mind, authors do not limit the scope of this report to those rights that apply exclusively to women, but include all those issues that are crucial to workers who are women. As in the frst Labour Rights for Women report, authors look firstly at the legal framework enabling women’s participation and representation in the workplace, the contracts under which they can be employed and the wages to which they are entitled. .Authors then study the legislation regarding non-discrimination, maternity arrangements and protection from sexual harassment. .The report focuses on the legislation that exists in the twelve countries (Egypt, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania,Uganda, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Guatemala, Paraguay and Peru) in the Labour Rights for Women Project. In order to retain its practical value, this report does not provide an exhaustive list of all relevant legislation and policy in the twelve countries, but an impression of the most important rights that women should be able to rely on.'

- Description
- 'An examination of gender differences in perceived quality of employment (achievement, content, job insecurity, job flexibility, and physical and emotional conditions). The big question is whether women’s occupations provide better conditions in areas that facilitate their dual role in society, such as flexible working schedule, as a tradeoff for low monetary rewards. Specifically, how closely women’s concentration in broader occupational categories, embedded in particular national contexts, is associated with gender differences in job quality.'

- Description
- Lately preference theory has gained significance in the academic literature on the determinants of female employment patterns. Mostly, within these studies gender and work attitudes and work preferences are treated as one concept. However, in this working paper it is argued that relatively variable work preferences act as a mediating factor between more stable gender and work attitudes and actual labour market behaviour. This study demonstrates that the effect of gender and work attitudes on mothers’ labour market behaviour is largely mediated by the variable work preference, which influence on actual labour participation appears much larger than the influence of objective background characteristics. Next, the analysis supports the claim that more or less stable gender and work attitudes have a balancing effect on otherwise more flexible work preferences.
