A country-by-country guide to the practicalities of setting up a new business venture
This book examines how, over the past 300 years or so, women have adapted their work methods, means of subsistence and daily routine to fulfil their dual role as carers and breadwinners. From the industrial revolution, which ended agrarian-based subsistence and meant an exodus towards the cities for many families, to the digital revolution, which redefined the work environment, working hours and even in some cases biological functions, women have succeeded in meeting the challenge of changing work practices, social expectations and economic and family needs. Although women’s work, both past and present, is a much-researched area, this volume sheds new light on the subject by combining the approach of historians, sociologists, and language and culture specialists, and applying it to different countries. Drawing upon original fieldwork and little-known archives, the book will be of interest not only to an academic audience, but to anyone wanting to know more about gender, family, and labour issues across Europe between the 19th and 21st centuries.

Qui n'a pas rêvé une fois dans sa vie de quitter son pays pour rechercher une nouvelle situation ? L'ouverture des frontières survenue en 1993 ne facilite-t-elle pas aujourd'hui ce saut dans une nouvelle existence ? La réalité est à la fois plus complexe et plus captivante. L'éventail des choix préconisés dans les directives bruxelloises n'est pas aussi large qu'on veut bien le laisser supposer, et les us et coutumes locales ont encore la part belle : il faut donc les connaître si l'on veut réussir. On s'aperçoit ainsi que l'on ne retrouvera pas forcément le même type de situation que dans sa patrie d'origine. Et qu'en réalité, seules des personnes connaissant les manières d...
