Mythos Markt?
Die Gestaltung der Arbeitswelt ist ein zentrales gesellschaftliches Anliegen. Doch welche Kräfte walten hier, wie sind die derzeitigen Entwicklungen zu beurteilen und welchen Einfluss haben wir, das heißt die BürgerInnen, ArbeitnehmerInnen oder ForscherInnen auf die Arbeitswelten der Zukunft? Die Beiträge erfassen die Probleme pointiert, stellen neue Fragen und beschreiben Lösungswege jenseits der ausgetretenen Wege der wissenschaftlichen und politischen Diskussion. Sie bieten unkonventionelle Perspektiven auf Einzelaspekte des deutschen Arbeitsmarktes wie Arbeitszeitverkürzung, Hartz IV und Arbeitslosigkeit, aber auch auf Probleme des ausländischen Marktes.
Single Motherhood and Poverty
n the Netherlands, single mothers run a high risk of becoming poor, even though the country has a well-developed welfare system. This study brings together many partial life histories of single mothers of different cultural backgrounds and origins and shows that poverty is not solely material deprivation. Through its in-depth account of the ways single mothers construct their everyday lives, this book sheds light on the many social, cultural and structural dimensions of poverty.

Gender and Rural Globalization
This book explores how rural gender relations are changing in a globalizing world that fundamentally impacts on the structure of agricultural life in rural areas and urban-rural relations. It analyses the development of rural gender relations in specific places around the world and looks into the effects of the increasing connectivity and mobility of people across places. The themes covered are: gender and mobility, gender and agriculture, Gender and rural politics, rurality and Gender identity and women and international development. Each theme has an overview of the state of the art in that specific thematic area and integrates the case-studies that follow.
