- Description
- ITS bracht de ontwikkelingen in de schoolloopbanen van jongens en meisjes in Nederland en in een aantal andere Westerse landen in dit rapport in kaart, vanaf de voor- en vroegschoolse periode tot en met de universiteit. In de afgelopen decennia is het onderwijsniveau in de meeste westerse landen toegenomen. De resultaten van de trendstudie wijzen uit dat deze ontwikkeling meer op het conto van vrouwen dan van mannen kan worden geschreven. Men zou kunnen spreken van een inhaalslag, met als gevolg dat in vrijwel alle bestudeerde landen meer vrouwen dan mannen deelnemen aan de hogere niveaus van het onderwijs. .In de laatste decennia is de onderwijspositie van de meisjes dus aanzienlijk verbeterd. Verschillen in onderwijsniveau en prestaties zijn tegenwoordig veel sterker gerelateerd aan de sociaal-economische status en etnische herkomst van leerlingen dan aan hun sekse. Tegelijkertijd laat de trendstudie zien dat er wel nog sprake is van hardnekkige sekseverschillen in studiekeuze. Gezien het internationale streven naar een kenniseconomie en de huidige tekorten op de arbeidsmarkt aan bètapersoneel is deze ongelijkheid momenteel vooral in het nadeel van de vrouwen.

- Although European policy initiatives to advance the position of women in Academia have proliferated, both at national and EU levels, serious inequities of many kinds remain. This situation is exposed and investigated in this book, which presents reports and discussions from a conference held at the Law Faculty of Lund University in December 2004. The participants law professors and social scientists present detailed reports on domestic experiences and regulations in eight European countries Among the many issues raised are the following: positive action in theory and practice: the progress of the EU Commission s strategy to integrate equal opportunity into all Community policies and activities: the motives for promoting women in Academia: the extensive group of part-timers and fixed-term employees at the margin of the traditional academic career: the importance of creating a situation in Academia where woman excellence shows: and the development of marketable research disciplines embodied in private research institutes.

- Description
- This book shows that women could and did manage male businesses and manage men. Women invested in the expanding shipping industry throughout the late eighteenth and the nineteenth century and actively ran non feminine businesses such as shipbuilding. By setting the businesswomen firmly in the context of the industry, the book examines the business challenges from the woman's perspective. It demonstrates how a woman needed to understand the business requirements while in some cases also being a single parent. As business managers, they had to manage a male workforce, deal with large and important customers and ensure they maintained their firm's reputation and continued to win orders. Nor were these women mere caretakers for the next generation, in many cases continuing to run the business in an active manner after their son or sons were of age. This book reveals communities of independent women in England who were active entrepreneurs and investors, in a period when women were increasingly supposed to be relegated to a more domestic role. It includes brief biographies of many of these women entrepreneurs who were also conventional mothers, wives and daughters.

- Description
- Increasing numbers of women, including mothers, in employment has become a major European objective, for reasons of both gender equality and economic regeneration. Their past allocation to the home may not have been fair to women, but it did ensure that caring and domestic work was achieved. The new scenario has brought with it considerable social change, including the erosion of the 'traditional' family, declining fertility, and growing problems of work-life 'balance'. The authors addres these topics, drawing on quantitative and qualitative research materials from Britain, France, The Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Portugal. Many of the chapters undertake comparative analysis, drawing on evidence from these countries, thereby facilitating a realistic evaluation of the policy options available. Wider questions, including the consequence of these changes for gender and class inequalities, are also addressed.

- This book addresses quotas as a global phenomenon to explain their impact in diverse contexts around the world. It is organized around two sets of questions. First, why are quotas adopted? Which actors are involved in quota campaigns, and why do they support or oppose quota measures? Second, what effects do quotas have on existing patterns of political representation? Are these provisions sufficient for bringing more women into politics? Or, does their impact depend on other features of the broader political context? This book develops a framework for analyzing the spread of quota provisions and the reasons for variations in their effects.

- Description
- The multidisciplinary contributions, which cover a variety of theoretical approaches, are all concerned with transitional labor markets and labor market policy in the new global economic environment. The authors first address current arguments and controversies regarding appropriate institutions for the formation and implementation of labor market and employment policies. They move on to focus on the policies and problems associated with enhancing gender equality in terms of labor market integration and transitions. Finally, they examine new institutional arrangements that they believe will both enhance the performance of transitional labor markets and improve the management of social risks. .Combining a theoretical approach with empirical research and a strong policy emphasis, the scope and diversity of this book will ensure a broad audience among economists, political scientists and academics in the fields of labor market theory and policy.

- Description
- The number of women in the United Kingdom, that are actively choosing entrepreneurship over corporate management, has increased. Findings from a comparative study between British and French entrepreneurs show that the main assumption that women are ‘pushed’or forced into entrepreneurship by factors such as the gender pay gap and glass ceiling effect is more of a myth that needs to be laid to rest and that women today possess a strong entrepreneurial drive fuelled by their need for achievement, need to empower others as well as other motivators not previously associated with female entrepreneurs. Two new categorizations pertinent to female entrepreneurship (i.e. career change and identity change) were also unearthed.

- Description
- This book is a comparative study of family change, parental employment and social policy in the five Nordic countries, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom. In all these countries family forms have been profoundly affected by lower fertility rates, lower marriage rates, increased cohabitation, higher risks of relationship breakdown and episodes of lone parenthood. These changes have also been linked to an increase in the proportion of mothers participating in the labor market. .The contributors to this book trace these social trends over the last twenty years and analyze how social policy has developed and evolved in response. They argue that while the Nordic countries pioneered efforts to recognize new family forms and reconcile work and family life, there is still considerable variation between them as well as some evidence that the non-Nordic countries are catching up.
