Sex segregation and inequality in the modern labour market (Hardcover, New)

This book presents a novel interpretation of the nature, causes, and consequences of sex inequality in the modern labor market. Employing a sophisticated new theoretical framework, and drawing on original fieldwork, the book develops a subtle account of the phenomenon of sex segregation and offers a major challenge to existing approaches. In an environment increasingly defined by attempts to converge and consolidate international policy objectives, an in-depth understanding of contemporary forms of inequality is vital to anyone interested in the effective translation of normative accounts of social justice into practical policy. While critically engaging the major explanatory theories of sex segregation, this book draws on the latest methodological innovations to provide an original empirical analysis of sex segregation using both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
