An up-to-date overview of all types of home-based work is provided
in this volume, which makes an important contribution to
sociological and policy debates on homeworking. The authors argue
that homeworking replicates wider divisions in the labour force and
that its potential for improving women's employment opportunities
is therefore limited. Using original research, they outline the
advantages and disadvantages, the pay and conditions, and the
family situations for contemporary women homeworkers. Gender,
class, racism and ethnicity are shown to be key factors in
constructing the homeworking labour force. The authors acknowledge
the shared position that homeworkers occupy as women, as well as
the differences experienced by clerical, manufacturing and
professional homeworkers, and question whether new technology in
itself can be the way forward to a better paid, less onerous form
of homeworking.
