Drawing from the work of internationally renowned scholars from the Research Network on Gender, Politics and the State (RNGS), this study offers in-depth analysis of the relationship between state feminism, women's movements and public policy and places them within a comparative theoretical framework. Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Finland, Austria, Belgium, Canada, and the U.S. are all discussed individually.
Post -school training significantly improves the employment probabilities but not the wages for urban salaried and self -employed women in Peru, possibly because they train for low -paying jobs. Because their chances of receiving job training are largely determined by educational attainment, women with limited schooling also face training opportunities.
This report evaluates the extent to which training programs established under the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 are meeting the needs of unemployed women.
A "how-to" guide, developed as a self-help demonstration project, provides concepts and descriptive models as program guides to assist community-based organizations, local and state governments, and the business community who may be concerned with developing programs for increasing the employment opportunities of immigrant, entrant, and refugee women for food service careers
At a time when women in industrialized countries have a stronger and more permanent presence in the labour market than ever before, why does the gender pay gap differ so greatly between countries? The contributors to this book use empirical studies of gender differences in family responsibilities and time allocation to demonstrate how such differences affect women's wages and analyse pay structures and wage mobility throughout Europe.
