Globalization, Uncertainty and Women's Careers assesses the effects
of globalization on the life courses of women in thirteen countries
across Europe and America in the second half of the 20th
century.The book represents the first-ever longitudinal analysis of
micro-level data from these OECD countries focusing exclusively on
women's relationship to the labor market in a globalizing world.
The contributors thoroughly examine women's employment entries,
exits and job mobility and present evidence of women's increased
labor market attachment and reduced employment quality in most of
the countries studied. They also systematically consider the life
course changes influenced by larger transformations in society and,
in doing so, explicitly link the phenomena of globalization to
individual women's lives in Europe and North America. Highlighting
the consequences of specific national policies on women's lives,
women's labor market participation, and demographic phenomena such
as low fertility, this book will prove invaluable to academics,
students, researchers, practitioners and policymakers seeking to
understand the effects of international social change on national
contexts and individual lives.
