- Description
- The authors look at the fundamental role of gender in global commodity chains. They challenge assumptions of global economic systems by identifying the crucial role social reproduction plays in production and by declaring the household as an important site of production. The book also addresses ways women's work can be integrated into commodity chain research, the forms women's labor takes, threats to social reproduction, the impact of indigenous and peasant households on commodity chains, the rapidly expanding arenas of global carework and sex trafficking, and finally, opportunities for worker resistance.

- Description
- This book looks at the often hidden worlds of gender and work, addressing enduring questions about how structural inequalities are produced and why they persist. Making visible the social relationships that drive the global economy, the book explores how economic transformations not only change the way we work, but how we live our lives.The full extent of changing patterns of employment and the current financial crisis cannot be fully understood in the confines of narrow conceptions of work and economy. Feminists address this shortcoming by developing both a theory and a political movement aimed at unveiling the power relations inherent in old and new forms of work. By providing an analysis of gender, work, and the economy, Gottfried brings to light the many faces of power from the bedroom to the boardroom. A discussion of globalization is threaded throughout the book to uncover the impact of increasing global interconnections, and case studies are included, from industrialized countries such as the US and the global cities of New York, London, and Tokyo, as well as from developing countries and the emerging global cities of Beijing, Shanghai, and Dubai.

- Description
- The global race for skilled immigrants seeks to attract the best global workers. In the pursuit of these individuals, governments may incidentally discriminate on gender grounds. Existing gendered differences in the global labour market related to life course trajectories, pay gaps and gendered divisions in occupational specialisation are also present in skilled immigration selection policies.

- Description
- Investigation on how the living conditions of working women in comparison with those of men are touched by the world wide economy: political and cultural changes transform labour markets, frames of division of work, labour organisation and family structures. Women profit by the emergence of working places that are brought force by new market activities. But at the same time many of them lose qualified occupations by shifting from full-time to part-time jobs, from high paid sectors to low remunerated industries.
