For most countries, womens labor force participation and hours of work has risen while mens have fallen. Concomitantly, mens and womens wages and occupational structures have been converging. This volume contains new and innovative research on issues related to gender convergence in the labor market. Topics include patterns in lifetime work, earnings and human capital investment, the gender wage gap, gender complementarities, career progression, the gender composition of top management, and the role of parental leave policies. Among the questions answered are: Do the levels of and returns to human capital change over the last 50 years in the US? Can the shorter fecundity horizon for females (a biological constraint) explain the division of labor in the home and the resulting wage gap? Does skill-biased technological change favor womens wages more than mens? Do care sector jobs incur a wage penalty? What impact does this have on firm and employee outcomes? Does the glass-ceiling faced by women in top management relate to fertility and parental leave policies and having children? And finally, are men and women complements or substitutes in the labor market?

Le genre est un organisateur central de la mondialisation néolibérale actuelle. Qu'il s'agisse de comprendre la division internationale du travail, les mobilités et les migrations, les guerres ou encore la transnationalisation des mouvements sociaux, le genre est, avec les rapports de classe et de race, une clé d'analyse indispensable.En effet, les femmes constituent l’une des principales sources de profit pour le capitalisme global et, simultanément, l’un des groupes sociaux les plus actifs dans la conception et la mise en œuvre d’alternatives à cette mondialisation.En réunissant des spécialistes internationaux sur des thématiques rarement abordées, comme le rôle des femmes du Sud et leurs mouvements, la militarisation ouverte et les guerres « de basse intensité », ou encore le travail non rémunéré des femmes, cet ouvrage renouvelle fondamentalement la critique des conséquences économiques, sociales, politiques, culturelles et idéologiques de la mondialisation.
