This is a sociological analysis of change and mobility in the labor
force of thirteen of the largest textile factories in Peru. The
book explores demographic and social variables such as age, sex,
birthplace, migration, seniority, current and former occupations,
and employment status as possible indices of rationality in the
Peruvian labor market. There are two especially striking empirical
findings: the Peruvian textile industry has not been plagued by the
high levels of labor turnover generally assumed to be inevitable in
underdeveloped countries; since 1955 women are being shut out of
better-paying manufacturing jobs because of welfare laws that make
them more expensive to employ than men. Originally published in
1967. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
