Description
Women and Work provides an analysis of the issue of workplace inequality.
Among the topics discussed are women's participation in the workplace, the continuing disparity in wages, the impact of new technologies, free trade and economic restructuring, and the involvement of women in the labour movement.
This revised edition amplifies the authors' findings that little has improved in women's working conditions and prospects.
