The unifying theme of Women and Careers is women's educational and
employment success, with the objective of profiling supportive
public policy in global contexts from Atlantic Canada to Western
Europe, Australia and China. It takes up the career processes of
women from marginalized groups who have been underrepresented
historically: women who are the first generation to graduate from
university in both Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick) and China and
rural women from the eastern most Canadian province (Newfoundland
and Labrador). It examines the situation of marginalized Protestant
women in Belfast, Northern Ireland, who benefit from a European
Union program that supports their political and social involvement
in an economically underdeveloped region and previously unimagined
in a country once wrought by sectarian violence. A policy analysis
of an Atlantic Canadian region after the dominant forestry industry
leaves takes up policy options and women's possible agency should
economic support return for small business networks and social
enterprise, e.g., credit unions, food and social housing
cooperatives. Proactive employment equity programs in Finland's
Applied Science Institute and Switzerland's Forestry Institute
provide cutting edge examples of diversity and inclusion policies
in education and academia. A comparative study of Canada and
Australia of two leading public service employers illustrates
incremental outcomes for women managers and professionals but
raises the ultimate question of the pace and necessary political
will required to remove barriers to gender equality in countries
with major gender inequities. Women and Careers examines a series
of institutional contexts transnationally and the impact of
policies, programs and economic re-structuring on careers outcomes.
It displays the latest research on the topic and will be of
interest both to students at an advanced level, academics,
reflective practitioners, and diversity managers. It addresses the
topics with regard to women's education and employment and will
interest researchers, academics and policymakers in the fields of
women's employment and career studies, diversity programs,
organization studies, development policy, gender studies and
globalization.
