The Pleasure of a Surplus Income
Published in Association with the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C. At a time when part-time jobs are ubiquitous, it is easy to forget that they are a relatively new phenomenon. This book explores the reasons behind the introduction of this specific form of work in West Germany and shows how it took root, in both norm and law, in factories, government authorities, and offices as well as within families and the lives of individual women. The author covers the period from the early 1950s, a time of optimism during the first postwar economic upswing, to 1969, the culmination of the legislative institutionalization of part-time work.
Labour Law in the Courts
This book deals with six EU Member States analysing two areas of substantive law: transfer of undertakings and equality legislation.
The Law on Age Discrimination in the EU
The EC Directive establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation covers a number of grounds of discrimination including age. The EU's population is ageing, but there is much evidence that age discrimination is widespread. The Directive is a reaction to that and the consequent desire to encourage greater participation in the labour market by older workers. This is the first time that age discrimination has been made unlawful by the EU and, as a result, there are now laws in every Member State making such discrimination unlawful. The Directive, and much of the national legislation, however, treats age discrimination differently to the other grounds for unlawfu...
Indirect Discrimination
Updated habilitation thesis, submitted in 2003 to the Law Faculty of the University of Basel, analysing indirect discrimination in a broad and comparative context. Focuses on the development of the legal concept in EC law and its application in a great number of areas, including internal taxation of goods, freedom of establishment, sex equality, etc. Discusses demarcation issues between direct and indirect discrimination, and applying the concepts in concrete cases.
The Most Difficult Revolution
Over half the women in the United States are now employed outside the home, and the proportions are comparable in many European countries. Yet nowhere has this revolution in the composition of the labor force been followed by the triumph of a more difficult revolution—the struggle for full equality in the rights and roles of women. Building upon research begun by the late Val R. Lorwin and Alice H. Cook, Cook and Arlene Kaplan Daniels survey recent efforts of trade unions in Germany, Austria, Sweden, and Great Britain to ensure equal opportunity in the workplace. In identifying the successes and setbacks of the European experience, the authors consider the implications for change in the ag...
Handbook of Technical and Vocational Education and Training Research
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) research has become a recognized and well-defined area of interdisciplinary research. This is the first handbook of its kind that specifically concentrates on research and research methods in TVET. The book’s sections focus on particular aspects of the field, starting with a presentation of the genesis of TVET research. They further feature research in relation to policy, planning and practice. Various areas of TVET research are covered, including on the vocational disciplines and on TVET systems. Case studies illustrate different approaches to TVET research, and the final section of the book presents research methods, including interview and observation methods, as well as of experimentation and development. This handbook provides a comprehensive coverage of TVET research in an international context, and, with special focus on research and research methods, it is a cutting-edge resource and reference.
vor Gericht
Dieses Themenheft befasst sich mit der Frage, wie Geschlecht vor Gericht hergestellt und verhandelt, aber auch strategisch eingesetzt wurde, um Ansprüche durchzusetzen oder sich gegen Vorwürfe zu verteidigen. Im Fokus steht dabei der Gerichtsraum, der als physischer und gleichzeitig als durch Interaktionen geformter sozialer Raum zu verstehen ist. Wie prägten die durch diesen Raum verkörperten gesellschaftlichen Normen und Machtasymmetrien die Darstellungen und Strategien jener Personen, die vor der Richterbank standen? Wie nutzten Angeklagte, Kläger*innen, Jurist*innen, Expert*innen oder Zeug*innen "Geschlecht", um ihre Anliegen vor Gericht durchzusetzen? Die Beiträge behandeln versch...
Die Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern in der europäischen Arbeitswelt
Worin unterscheidet sich die Situation der Frauen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt in den Ländern der Europäischen Union? Welches sind - entgegen den identischen europarechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen - die Ursachen für die normativen und faktischen Gleichstellungsdefizite von Land zu Land? Die Studie analysiert sowohl das geltende Recht der Mitgliedstaaten als auch die unterschiedlichen ökonomischen, politischen und soziokulturellen Rahmenbedingungen. Rechtsmängel allein reichen nicht aus, um die unterschiedlichen Teilhabechancen von Frauen zu begründen. Entgegen landläufiger Annahmen ist auch ein hoher ökonomischer und soziokultureller Modernisierungsstandard noch kein Garant für die Angleichung der Erwerbsbeteiligungschancen. Entscheidend ist vielmehr, daß der Staat die Gleichstellung der Frauen im Arbeitsleben durch aktive Maßnahmen unterstützt.
Spitzenpositionen für Spitzenleistungen?
Olga Hördt zeigt, wie trotz verbesserter Ausbildungssituation, gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen, institutionalisierter Chancengleichheitspolitik und formalisierter Personal- und Managementauswahlverfahren geschlechtsspezifische Gestaltungsspielräume entstehen und zu subtilen Formen von Ungleichheit beitragen. Es wird deutlich, dass Frauen der Weg ins Management nicht grundsätzlich versperrt ist, dass sie aber Spitzenleistungen erbringen müssen, während Männer durch informelle Beziehungen in höhere Positionen aufsteigen.
