In the labor market and workplace, anti-discrimination rules,
affirmative action policies, and pay equity procedures exercise a
direct effect on gender relations. But what can be done to
influence the ways that men and women allocate tasks and
responsibilities at home? In Gender Equality, Volume VI in the Real
Utopias series, social scientists Janet C. Gornick and Marcia K.
Meyers propose a set of policies--paid family leave provisions,
working time regulations, and early childhood education and
care--designed to foster more egalitarian family divisions of labor
by strengthening men's ties at home and women's attachment to paid
work. Their policy proposal is followed by a series of
commentaries--both critical and supportive--from a group of
distinguished scholars, and a concluding essay in which Gornick and
Meyers respond to a debate that is a timely and valuable
contribution to egalitarian politics.
Comparable worth--equal pay for jobs of equal value--has been
called the civil rights issue of the 1980s. This volume consists of
a committee report that sets forth an agenda of much-needed
research on this issue, supported by six papers contributed by
eminent social scientists. The research agenda presented is
structured around two general themes: (1) occupational wage
differentials and discrimination and (2) wage adjustment strategies
and their impact. The papers deal with a wide range of topics,
including job evaluation, social judgment biases in comparable
worth analysis, the economics of comparable worth, and prospects
for pay equity.
