This was first published in 2000: This work is founded on the
premise that many analyses of economic restructuring and of gender
relations fail to recognize two things. First, the situation facing
women is different from that of the 1960s when the conceptual
apparatuses for analyzing "women and work" were created. Labour
markets are dominated by flexible, non-standard work, precarious
contractual relations and income disparities. Therefore, it is
difficult to structure political claims or analysis around the
notion that there is a single labour market, that the primary
problem is discrimination or inappropriate training, and that
political strategies should focus on discrimination and
non-traditional employment. Rather, new challenges require new
solutions. The second point of departure is that is is impossible
to understand either contemporary labour markets, or the roots of
employment and other public policies without locating them vis a
vis patterns of gender inequalities generated by and in these
labour markets. The labour force has been feminized to such an
extent that new, and often unequal gender relations are crucial to
their very functioning.
