In the context of contemporary economic, political, social and
cultural transformations, this book brings together contributions
from developed and emerging societies in Europe, the USA and East
Asia in order to highlight the nature, extent and impact of these
changes on the housing opportunities of women.
The collection seeks to contribute to comparative housing
debates by highlighting the gendered nature of housing processes,
locating these processes within wider structured and
institutionalised relations of power, and to show how these
socially constructed relationships are culturally contingent, and
manifest and transform over time and space.
The international contributors draw on a wide range of empirical
evidence relating to labour market participation, wealth
distribution, family formation and education to demonstrate the
complexity and gendered nature of the interlocking arenas of
production, reproduction and consumption and the implications for
the housing opportunities of women in different social contexts.
Worldwide examples are drawn from Australia, China, Great Britain,
Hong Kong, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and the USA.
