Women's Work, the Family and Social Policy - Focus on Italy in a European Perspective (Paperback, illustrated edition)

Women's Work, the Family, and Social Policy focuses on the issue of women's work in Italy as seen in the context of the last three decades of the twentieth century and against the backdrop of changes that have been occurring since the late sixties in women's status in society and family. Using a comparative approach, the contributors analyze trends in women's employment, their motivations to work, the impact on fertility and family patterns of working women, strategies to conciliate work and children, effectiveness of social policy, and the effects of women's work on family's income and income distribution. This book looks at women's work from the point of view of the human capital thus being mobilized and its wide-ranging impact on society and the economy.
