Description
An impressive gathering of the latest feminist economic scholarship and a revealing overview of the role of female labor in the global economy, this volume examines the economic contributions of women in both underdeveloped and advanced capitalist societies. The international contributors have organized their selections according to four themes: gender and development; women in developed post-industrial countries; causes and consequences of part-time work; and education and family policy. The chapters span the globe, bringing together research data from the United States, England, the Philippines, Turkey, Pakistan, Japan, France, Sweden, and the former East Germany.
