Examining the employment lives of Chinese women living under
different government systems at the beginning of the twenty-first
century, the contributors to this volume present an overview of
factors affecting the employment status of women. The volume
includes chapters on the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Hong
Kong and Singapore - nations that have common Chinese cultural
experiences but very different economic systems and government
structures. Policies and laws vary widely in Chinese societies from
the egalitarian, socialist provisions of The People's Republic of
China to the laissez-faire, capitalist policy the British advocated
for the Hong Kong government before 1997. Employment of Women in
Chinese Cultures provides a theoretical introduction from both
Chinese and Western perspectives, as well as summaries of the
effect on women's employment of government policies on taxation,
health and safety, reproduction, childcare, and education in each
nation-state. By juxtaposing the work of women of a similar
cultural heritage living under different government systems, new
insights are gained that can benefit Chinese working women wherever
they live. Scholars and students of management, labor, gender, and
China will find this volume of great interest. Government leaders
will also find the research on women's employment lives a useful
tool in future decision-making.
