Description
This book evaluates the global labour market in the context of gender equality, and the associated policies and regulations, particularly in developing markets, to recommend measures for encouraging gender equality.
It exposes the barriers that women employees encounter as well as some of the societal and workplace policies they, specifically, are subject to.
Important themes within this topic include participation rates, the looming gap in hourly pay, availability of part-time and full-time positions, value, and social status associated with jobs held by men and women.
The book examines how global gender policy objectives, such as gender equality in careers, gender balance in decision-making, and gender dimensions in research, can be incorporated into policy frameworks.
The book analyzes the gendered nature of assumptions, processes and theories.
The juxtaposition between family and work, tradition and modernity, and dependency and autonomy, clearly still seems to be misunderstood.
Therefore, the book asks whether work improves women’s positions in society and/or changes their roles in their families.
The authors explore and uncover the connections among employment, entrepreneurship, migration economies, and gender global labour markets and provide helpful solutions to the perceptions surrounding women’s status, risks, and inequality that limit their economic participation.
This insightful read provides comprehensive details on a variety of themes and encourages further research on policies that are key to promoting gender equality.
The book will appeal to postgraduate students and researchers of labour and feminist economics, the economics of gender, women’s studies and sociology.
