Description
This is an examination of the actual features of men's and women's work in the light of the determinants of occupational sex-typing that have been proposed from different perspectives within political economy (including feminist studies). The work also argues that women's relative contributions as income earners within the family and their historically subordinate position in society, both of which relate to women's reproductive role, lead to the recurrence of particular patterns of occupational sex-typing. The focus of the study is Italy, with evidence from several contemporary and early Italian industries. The discussions on skill and the rise in female relative earnings in Italy bear special relevance to equal-pay policy issues.
