This book evaluates the global labour market in the context of
gender equality, and the associated policies and regulations,
particularly in developing markets, to recommend measures for
encouraging gender equality. It exposes the barriers that women
employees encounter as well as some of the societal and workplace
policies they, specifically, are subject to. Important themes
within this topic include participation rates, the looming gap in
hourly pay, availability of part-time and full-time positions,
value, and social status associated with jobs held by men and
women. The book examines how global gender policy objectives, such
as gender equality in careers, gender balance in decision-making,
and gender dimensions in research, can be incorporated into policy
frameworks. The book analyzes the gendered nature of assumptions,
processes and theories. The juxtaposition between family and work,
tradition and modernity, and dependency and autonomy, clearly still
seems to be misunderstood. Therefore, the book asks whether work
improves women's positions in society and/or changes their roles in
their families. The authors explore and uncover the connections
among employment, entrepreneurship, migration economies, and gender
global labour markets and provide helpful solutions to the
perceptions surrounding women's status, risks, and inequality that
limit their economic participation. This insightful read provides
comprehensive details on a variety of themes and encourages further
research on policies that are key to promoting gender equality. The
book will appeal to postgraduate students and researchers of labour
and feminist economics, the economics of gender, women's studies
and sociology.
