Women's Work, the Family and Social Policy - Focus on Italy in a European Perspective (Paperback, illustrated edition):... Women's Work, the Family and Social Policy - Focus on Italy in a European Perspective (Paperback, illustrated edition)
Daniela Del Boca; Edited by Margherita Repetto-Alaia, Daniela Del Boca
R999 Discovery Miles 9 990 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Women's Work, the Family, and Social Policy focuses on the issue of women's work in Italy as seen in the context of the last three decades of the twentieth century and against the backdrop of changes that have been occurring since the late sixties in women's status in society and family. Using a comparative approach, the contributors analyze trends in women's employment, their motivations to work, the impact on fertility and family patterns of working women, strategies to conciliate work and children, effectiveness of social policy, and the effects of women's work on family's income and income distribution. This book looks at women's work from the point of view of the human capital thus being mobilized and its wide-ranging impact on society and the economy.

The relationship between fertility and the participation rate of women in the workforce is an increasingly important area of study for economists, demographers and policy-makers. Recent data show important differences in the relationship between employment rates of women and fertility across Europe. For example, in southern Europe, low fertility rates are combined with low rates of female participation. In contrast, Nordic countries are experiencing relatively high fertility rates combined with high female labour market participation. Social Policies, Labour Markets and Motherhood analyses the effects of policies aimed to reconcile motherhood and labour market participation. Making extensive use of European Community Household Panel data, it compares the outcomes of policies in several European countries, analysing why they succeed in some environments but not in others. It will be of interest to researchers, policy-makers and graduate students working on labour markets, population economics, demography and the methodology of applied microeconomics.

Women at Work - An Economic Perspective (Paperback): Tito Boeri, Daniela Del Boca, Christopher Pissarides Women at Work - An Economic Perspective (Paperback)

Covering employment and wage gender gaps, participation of women, fertility, and the welfare of children, this insightful volume discusses how the trend towards greater participation of women in labour markets interacts with gender differences in pay. It focusses on the scope for increasing the number of women in the labour force without negatively affecting the development of their children. The need for this volume has become self evident. At the Spring 2000 Lisbon meeting of the European Council the Heads of Governments of the EU agreed to accelerate the greater participation of women in the labour market. However, neither in Lisbon nor in the subsequent Spring European Councils of the EU was it discussed how to achieve this target - and the trade-offs that would be involved in increasing the participation of women in paid employment. Policies for increasing participation must involve some losers, or they would already have been implemented everywhere.
