This book offers an analysis of the key issues faced by women in
the labor market in the 21st century. It identifies the factors
that inhibit women's participation in the labor market, studies
occupational segregation by gender and analyzes labor transitions,
questioning whether the experience for men and women differs. It
also explores the effect of entrepreneurship support programs on
women's economic and social positions, as well as the public policy
implications of women's entry into the labor market. The book
investigates working women in Mexico and also offers comparisons
with countries such as Spain and developing countries within
Eastern Europe. It explores a variety of topics, from a gender
perspective, such as labor participation, the feminization of
poverty, migration, wage gaps, changes in employment, informal work
programs and public policy. Finally, the book offers a topical and
timely analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic, tracking the gender
inequalities among men and women in labor markets. The main market
for the book is the global community of academics, researchers and
graduate students in the fields of economics and, specifically, in
the study of the labor market from a gender perspective. It will
also be beneficial to government institutions responsible for the
creation of public programs and policies, as well as
non-governmental and non-profit organizations.

A beautiful story about how sometimes our worst moments may be the
bridge to our dreams. . . In exchange for being able to live on
Cedar Creek Farm, thirteen year old Sarah Baker's parents must
train horses and students in the property owners' equestrian
facility. After being born in North Carolina and living nearly her
whole life on the farm, Sarah finds out she's moving to Tennessee.
And not only will she have to start a new life in another state,
but she has to leave her precious horse, Jack, and her dog, Ginger,
behind since she's going to live in a town, not a farm. Sarah is
devastated, and she knows that she will never get to fulfill her
dreams now- competing in the US Equestrian Nationals. When she
moves to Tennessee, however, she finds a luxurious equestrian barn
owned by a retired Olympic show jumper. There she finds a beautiful
white mare, just as free-spirited and adventurous as Jack. Sarah,
being a great rider herself, begins to secretly jump this mare in
the woods located in the back of the property. After the owner of
the farm finds her riding his horse, Sarah has no idea that her
dreams of competing in the US Equestrian Nationals might just come
true after all.
