- Description
- This collection scrutinises pivotal aspects of women's careers in Eastern Europe, focusing on the foundations of women's employment and its prospects. It deals in particular with whether 'standard' theoretical approaches, mostly modelled on evidence from Western Europe, can be transferred to the analysis of Eastern European countries.

- Description
- In promising women equal citizenship rights and promoting gender equality, Turkey's recent welfare reforms appear to address fundamental problems-the patriarchal system limits women's lives to their roles as wives and mothers, and their labor to informal and unskilled sectors. Yet these policies, guided by the process of accession to the European Union, have conflicting outcomes for women. The reforms sweep away historic support structures and deem women 'equal citizens' without adequate interventions in legal and social frameworks, thus increasing their vulnerability. The AKP's neo-liberal policies and rising Islamic movements further weaken the reform process.

- Description
- As nations worldwide grapple with aging populations and rising social security costs, many have chosen to raise retirement ages. This is predicated on the assumption that there is employment available for people who are of an age that in the past would likely have been out of the workforce. This book challenges that assumption, along with the gender-neutral way the issue of retirement age is generally treated. The authors apply life-course approaches to understand evolving definitions of work and retirement, the range of transitions from paid work to retirement and how they differ for men, women, and those in different family circumstances and occupations. The data are about Australia, Ireland, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
