Do the new Asian economies encourage gender equality? Ann Brooks
provides a unique insight into this question by assessing the
impact of the new economy and the changing labour market on women
in Asia. Theoretical debates around globalization, gender and
social change are combined with empirical research on professional
women in two cosmopolitan cities: Hong Kong and Singapore. The
author's research shows that even in such cosmopolitan cities where
women tend to have a strong advantage there is a 'new dynamic of
inequality'. This makes the examination of women's labour market
participation and ambition in these environments very different to
previous research. The research is set against the backdrop of
Southeast Asia more generally and international comparisons are
also drawn. It will be of interest to scholars in sociology,
economics, gender studies, business studies and Asian studies.
