Convergence, Persistence and Diversity in Male and Female Careers - Does Context Matter in an Era of Globalization? (eBook, PDF)

A Comparison of Gendered Employment Mobility Patterns in West Germany and Denmark

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Little comparative knowledge exists on how the radical transformations that constitute the late 20th century's 'era of globalization' have affected gender relations and their particular structural manifestation on the labour market, thereby neglecting a core element of the changes and problems currently underway. This book analyses how converging tendencies in the life courses and employment careers of men and women interfere with developments of increasing diversity and instability, both within and between sexes, as economies move from 'industrial' to 'global'. Using the shifting welfare regimes of West Germany and Denmark as illustrative evidence of how national context 'genders' the risks and chances associated with globalisation and increasing employment flexibility, this study provides a timely, comprehensive longitudinal analysis of the gendered career consequences of recent political and economic change.
