Living Wages, Equal Wages: Gender and Labour Market Policies in the United States PDF
by Deborah M. Figart, Ellen Mutari, Marilyn Power
Part of the Routledge IAFFE Advances in Feminist Economics series
Description
Wage setting has historically been a deeply political and cultural as well as economic process. This informative and accessible book explores how US wage regulations in the twentieth century took gender, race-ethnicity and class into account. Focusing on social reform movements for living wages and equal wages, it offers an interdisciplinary account of how women's work and the remuneration for that work has changed along with the massive transformations in the economy and family structures.
The controversial issue of establishing living wages for all workers makes this book both a timely and indispensable contribution to this wide ranging debate, and it will surely become required reading for anyone with an interest in modern economic issues.
