Description

Do the new Asian economies encourage gender equality?

Ann Brooks provides a unique insight into this question by assessing the impact of the new economy and the changing labour market on women in Asia.

Theoretical debates around globalization, gender and social change are combined with empirical research on professional women in two cosmopolitan cities: Hong Kong and Singapore.

The author's research shows that even in such cosmopolitan cities where women tend to have a strong advantage there is a 'new dynamic of inequality'.

This makes the examination of women's labour market participation and ambition in these environments very different to previous research.

The research is set against the backdrop of Southeast Asia more generally and international comparisons are also drawn.

It will be of interest to scholars in sociology, economics, gender studies, business studies and Asian studies.
