The last half-century has witnessed dramatic declines in gender inequality, evidenced by the rise of egalitarian views on gender roles and the narrowing of long-standing gender gaps in university attendance and labor force participation. This development, while spectacular, has been coupled with similarly impressive forms of resistance to equalization, most notably the continuing tendency for women to crowd into female "occupational ghettos." This book answers the important questions: Why has such extreme segregation persisted even as other types of gender inequality have lessened? Why is segregation especially extreme in precisely those countries that appear most committed to egalitarian reform and family-friendly policies?

Depuis les années 1980, comment a évolué la place des hommes et des femmes dans le monde du travail en Europe, aux États-Unis, en Chine, au Japon, en Amérique latine, en Afrique, en Inde, au Maghreb et au Moyen-Orient ? Peut-on comparer, du point de vue du travail, de l'emploi, du chômage, de la formation, des régions du monde dont les histoires, les cultures et les niveaux de développement sont aussi contrastés ? Mettre en perspective ce qui semble incomparable : tel est le défi que relève cet ouvrage collectif.Il établit un bilan de ces situations, ainsi qu'un repérage des enjeux et des débats contemporains. À côté des sujets récurrents et nécessaires - écarts de salaire, évolution des métiers, conditions de travail, chômage -, il traite aussi des migrations, de la mondialisation des emplois, de la protection sociale, du harcèlement, des formes de mobilisation, des nouvelles technologies, de la prostitution, etc. Cet ouvrage révèle le poids central du travail dans l'évolution des rapports sociaux de sexe et dans les processus d'émancipation des femmes. Car la question du travail n'est pas un simple domaine des études de genre : c'est une clé pour comprendre la place des femmes et des hommes dans la société. Réunissant les contributions d'une cinquantaine d'auteur-e-s du monde entier et de plusieurs disciplines, ce livre est un outil de synthèse sans équivalent, ouvert et accessible, qui témoigne de l'internationalisation des débats sur les questions du genre. En dépit de la diversité des thèmes traités, des aires géographiques parcourues et des époques traversées, un leitmotiv chemine dans ces pages : dans le monde du travail, les femmes sont partout, l'égalité nulle part.

Nine to Five provides a lively and accessible introduction to the laws and policies regulating sex, sexuality, and gender identity in the American workplace. Contemporary cases and events reveal the breadth and persistence of sexism and gender stereotyping. Through a series of essays organized around sex discrimination, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, and pay equity, the book highlights legal rules and doctrines that privilege men over women and masculinity over femininity. In understanding the law - what it forbids, what it allows, and to what it turns a blind eye - we see why it is far too soon to declare the triumph of working women's equality. Despite significant gains for women, gender continues to define the work experience in both predictable and surprising ways. A witty and engaging guide to the legal terrain, Nine to Five also proposes solutions to the many obstacles that remain on the path to equality.
