In the new knowledge-based economy, information technology is a
major field of employment. However, the fast pace of technological
innovation, globalization, and the volatile stock market have made
IT an increasingly risky business – for some employees more than
for others. This volume examines how women and older workers in
small IT companies are disproportionately vulnerable to economic
uncertainty within their industry. Drawing on original survey and
interview data, the authors explore how gender and age affect work
and workplace culture to produce a fresh contribution to the
literature on inequality.
