"This timely book expertly analyses the persistence of gender inequalities in work. Despite the progress made through frameworks regulating work and employment relations, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed and exacerbated gender divides in labour markets. The authors present innovative ways to promote gender equality in a variety of industrial relations systems, welfare state models and labour market sectors. Making and Breaking Gender Inequalities in Work offers a rich, global and comparative study of this critical topic, addressing developments in formal and informal economies in countries with different levels of economic development. Mia Rönnmar and Susan Hayter have carefully selected expert contributors who apply an interdisciplinary approach and combine a range of theories and methodologies to provide fresh insights on the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, and on how to tackle gender inequalities in areas such as work-life balance, equality law, global value chains and collective bargaining. Illustrating the key issues in the subject, this book is an excellent resource for academic researchers and scholars in the fields of industrial relations, work and employment relations, gender studies and equality, labour and international law. Policymakers and employers' and workers' organizations at the national, regional and international levels will also find the analysis informative and enlightening"--

Samuel Cohn’s critical study of two Victorian British firms represents a radically new examination of women’s work. By contrasting the Post Office, which was the first employer to use female clerks instead of males, and the Great Western Railway, one of the last employers to make this change, Cohn identifies the organizational and economic limits to female employment. The Process of Occupational Sex-Typing challenges traditional accounts of clerical feminization that invoke cultural restrictions on women’s work, human capital theory, discrimination by co-workers, and the de-skilling of jobs. Further, Cohn puts forward an alternative theory of occupational sex-typing that emphasizes the high cost of male labor, differences between organizations in their ability to tolerate discrimination, the latent contradictions within internal labor markets, and competition to women from other sources of cheap labor.

The problems of pipefitting and pregnancy, carpentry and child care, truck driving and femininity—these peculiar parings characterize the lives of an often unsung group of women. They are women who have entered the traditionally male-dominated world of the trades. They are women whom we meet in Alone in a Crowd, as twenty-five women who are blue-collar workers tell us in their own words what it is like to be a woman and a machinist or an electrician or a tugboat mate. Here are women who wear lipstick on the line and women who wear steel-toed boots in the yard, women who trade sexual wisecracks with their male coworkers and women who keep to themselves, women who want to get ahead and women who want out. In this book their actual voices speak to us about their nontraditional work and their nontraditional lives.

Dieses Buch wurde mit dem zweiten Preis des Deutschen Studienpreises 2011 der Körber-Stiftung in der Sektion ‘Sozialwissenschaften’ ausgezeichnet.
Die meisten Mütter unterbrechen nach der Geburt ihres ersten Kindes ihre Erwerbstätigkeit. Auf der Basis einer humankapitaltheoretisch fundierten Lohnfunktion und mit Daten des Sozio-ökonomischen Panels (SOEP) schätzt die Autorin den Lohneinfluss unterschiedlicher Ausprägungen von Erwerbserfahrung für westdeutsche Frauen und zeigt, dass Mütter – je nach Bildungsniveau und Unterbrechungsmuster – allein bis zum 46. Lebensjahr eine Bruttolohnsumme von bis zu 200 000 Euro verlieren. Im Ergebnis kann die Aufschiebung von Geburten ökonomisch rational sein. Eine Auszeit-Verkürzung senkt die Verluste erheblich. Der berechnete «Career Wage Gap» als Biografie-bedingter Einkommensnachteil von Frau zu Frau trägt dazu bei, geschlechtsspezifische Lohndiskriminierung in Deutschland fundiert zu beziffern.

Nous avons voulu, avec ce livre, créer un espace de connaissance autour de la thématique genre et développement, apporter des outils de réflexion aux femmes francophones, et aux hommes bien évidemment, et cela dans un esprit d’ouverture envers nos devancières – anglaises, américaines, latino-américaines – qui ont repris des concepts féministes ou en ont forgé de nouveaux pour les adapter aux situations spécifiques créées par les politiques et les projets de développement : repères intellectuels pour toutes celles et tous ceux qui cherchent, avec bonne volonté, à comprendre la formidable complexité du développement afin que leur action soit plus efficace, plus complète, et non plus source de distorsions socioéconomiques préjudiciables à tous, ou pire, source de détresses matérielles et psychologiques.
