- Description
- This book analyses changes in gender relations, as a result of globalization, in countries on the semi-periphery of power. Semi-periphery refers to those nations which are not drivers of change globally, but have enough economic and political security to have some power in determining their own responses to global forces. Individual countries obviously face challenges that are to some extent unique, although the prescriptions for economic and social restructuring are based on a common competitive logic. .This book draws on examples from four countries on the semi-periphery of power but still located in the top category of the Human Development Index. At one end is Norway, one of the world’s richest and most developed welfare-states, and, at the other, is Mexico, a country that is much poorer and more susceptible to the power of the United States and international agencies. Australia and Canada, the other two semi-peripheral countries examined, are in the middle. Also included are comparisons with the epicentre of the ‘core’ base of power – the United States. .The individual chapters focus on the effect on specific groups of people, including males and indigenous groups.

- Description
- The author examines ideas on the nature and political significance of time and re-frames them from a feminist perspective. Themes covered include gender differences in time use and the impact of 'time poverty' on women's citizenship: the need to value time spent giving and receiving care: the social meanings of time: 'women's time' and 'men's time': the role of the past in framing policy options nowadays.

- Description
- This collection explores the connections between gender and emotion in organizations. In its examination of these connections, this book focuses on two specific areas: emotional labour and the gendered nature of the expression of feelings at work. Drawing on a range of empirical data, including new work on the previously neglected area of men and emotions, the book brings together emerging literature on this topic.

- Description
- The first section of this overview explores the dominant analysis taking hold around women’s economic empowerment and highlights critical issues that remain as yet on the margins of debate and action. It seeks to promote a nuanced understanding of the gendered barriers that prevent some women from benefiting from economic opportunities or from being empowered despite access to these opportunities. It goes on to suggest a practical starting point for overcoming some of these barriers: tackling the ‘double burden’ of paid work and care work that is shouldered by so many women. The second section provides an annotated bibliography of resources related to the issues covered in the overview.

- Description
- This paper was prepared as part of the preparatory phase for the UNRISD research project on Political and Social Economy of Care. The aim of the project is to examine the way in which care is provided and allocated between the family/household, state, market and “community”, and its articulation with the commodity economy in different countries. The country case studies describe the institutional shape of the various “care regimes” and provide micro-level quantitative analysis of how women, men, girls and boys within households “take care” of other household members: and explore the implications of the findings for poverty and social exclusion.

- Description
- This paper traces the evolution of ideas in the area of gender and care, and analyses some of the main strands of thinking that have contributed to this ongoing debate. The effort to review the literature is not exhaustive, and it is also biased toward connecting gender analyses of care in developing countries to some of the conceptual and theoretical work on care that, for the most part, takes the developed capitalist economies as its point of reference.

- Description
- The chapters of this book give the answers to questions related to labour market transitions between labour and care and transitions between the labour market and retirement. E.g. can men cross the bridge to the field of care as easily as women? Which arrangements help women to return to the labour market after some years of fulltime motherhood? Is parttime retirement to be preferred to fulltime retirement? And: who benefits from leave and other life course arrangements? Scientists will be triggered by the theoretical notions and the firm empirical analyses.

- Description
- In this book Lyn Craig provides an account of how parents divide their time between caring for children, housework, paid work and leisure. Using large-scale quantitative time-use data , the book provides a detailed analysis of the impact of children upon adult time. This research reveals a unique picture of how parenthood affects daily life within households, and how people's (paid and unpaid) workload is affected by parenthood.By looking at how the costs and benefits of children are currently conceptualized and apportioned, she shows what becoming a mother entails and why it is so challenging to raise children. Suggesting an explanation for why fertility rates are dramatically dropping, the book makes a contribution to the debate on contemporary motherhood.

- Description
- The author relates stories from business and government and women's testimonies from offices, assembly lines, hospitals, and schools. She discusses the ways how 'the big boys' portray feminism as women against men, and their opinions about pay equity, family leave and flex time. The author argues for feminism as a system of beliefs, laws and practices that fully values women and their work. She also provides activist strategies to help achieve a society where both men and women are able to reach their potential.

- Description
- Competing claims on time in work and family life have become inherent, unavoidable features of the Western world. Many people feel torn between work and family not just because their households increasingly juggle competing responsibilities, but also as job expectations and parenting standards have intensified. This book aims to deepen our understanding of a variety of conditions that influence the successes and difficulties experienced in attempting to equally accommodate both work and private lives. The contributors argue that conditions which create competing claims on time can originate from the organization, from the household, or from both: the contributors thus apply a multi-level and multi-actor approach to the problem. They pay detailed attention to time use and time pressures, and focus not only on the causes of disturbed balances between work and care, but also on solutions to these competing claims. This study gives perspectives from across Europe, US, and Australia.
