Lifetime Disadvantage, Discrimination and the Gendered Workforce
fills a gap in the literature on discrimination and disadvantage
suffered by women at work by focusing on the inadequacies of the
current law and the need for a new holistic approach. Each stage of
the working life cycle for women is examined with a critical
consideration of how the law attempts to address the problems that
inhibit women's labour force participation. By using their model of
lifetime disadvantage, the authors show how the law adopts an
incremental and disjointed approach to resolving the challenges,
and argue that a more holistic orientation towards eliminating
women's discrimination and disadvantage is required before true
gender equality can be achieved. Using the concept of resilience
from vulnerability theory, the authors advocate a reconfigured
workplace that acknowledges yet transcends gender.

With the forces of globalization as a backdrop, this casebook
develops labor and employment law in the context of the national
laws of nine countries important to the global economy - the US,
Canada, Mexico, UK, Germany, France, China, Japan and India. These
national jurisdictions are highlighted by considering international
labor standards promulgated by the International Labor Organization
as well as the rulings and standards that emerge from two very
different regional trade arrangements - the labor side accord to
NAFTA and the European Union. Across all these different sources of
law, this book considers the law of individual employment,
collective labor law dealing with unionization as well as the laws
against discrimination, the laws protecting privacy and the systems
used to resolve labor and employment disputes. This is the first
set of law school course materials in English covering
international and comparative employment and labor law.
