Rates of employment amongst mothers of young children have risen
rapidly in recent years. Attitudes to gender roles have changed,
and both employers and governments have had to adjust to new
realities. But some argue that recent changes in employment
relations are making work more family 'unfriendly'. What are the
real consequences of change? Rosemary Crompton explores the origins
and background of this radical shift in the gendered division of
labour. Topics covered include the changing attitudes to gender
roles and family life, the gendered organisational context, and
recent changes in employment relations and their impact on
work-life articulation. A comparative analysis of Britain, France,
Norway, Finland, the United States and Portugal provides an
assessment of the varying impact of state policies, and the
changing domestic division of labour. Crompton draws on original
research and situates her findings within contemporary theoretical
and empirical debates.
