Labour Law, Work, and Family: Critical and Comparative Perspectives
Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0199287031 |
Book Description
In recent years, gender has emerged as an important focus of attention in discourse in and around labour law. Gender is gradually moving from the margin to the mainstream of labour law debate, particularly with the development of a 'family-friendly' policy agenda. This book consists of a series of essays from an international selection of leading legal scholars exploring the shifting boundary between work and family from a labour law perspective. The object is to assess the global implications for labour law and policy of women's changing role in paid and unpaid work. The approaches adopted by the contributors' are diverse, both conceptually and geographically, encompassing analyses from Australia, North America, Canada, the UK, Europe and Japan, and including national and supra-national perspectives. Key themes informing the collection as a whole are the re-positioning of unpaid care work as integral to the performance and structure of productive activity; and consideration of the implications of recognizing the interdependence of work and family activities. In this way, the book seeks to develop a central theme from the previously published 'Labour Law in an Era of Globalization' (Conaghan, Fischl and Klare, eds. OUP), as part of an ongoing exploration into the distributive implications of economic and political globalization.

Women Working: Comparative Perspectives in Developing Areas (Contributions in Women's Studies)
Alma T Junsay , and Tim B. Heaton Manufacturer: Greenwood Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 031326368X |
Book Description
Those promoting economic development in the Third World often disregard the disadvantaged position of women or lack adequate information to assess the role of women. This book seeks to remedy that situation by providing a detailed examination of patterns and determinants of female labor force participation in three developing countries: Thailand, Colombia, and Egypt. The analysis is based on detailed interviews with women about factors such as migration patterns, the employment situation, household conditions, and other relevant socioeconomic activities. The result is a comprehensive explanation of female economic behavior in developing countries that forms the basis for a broader understanding of women's economic conditions across culture. For each country studied, the authors focus on women's employment in the capital city. Combining the economic model of household time allocation and the sociological life course perspective, they document the influence of social origins, early work experience, and household conditions on women's labor force participation. Their findings provide valuable new information concerning the status and conditions of women who join the labor force: the resources available to them and constraints on participation; the relationships between household and female employment; and the influence of education on current economic behavior. Based on their research, the authors then propose and discuss various policies which might serve to improve female economic status in developing countries.

Women's Employment in a Comparative Perspective (Sociology and Economics)
Manufacturer: Aldine Transaction ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0202306569 |
Book Description
Labor market patterns in Western Europe and the United States in the latter twentieth century, and particularly in the past twenty-five years, have shown a striking resemblance in the overall increase in women's employment. Despite this fact, there are also large differences in women's position among those countries. Moreover, East European countries differ considerably from Western countries. Policy driven by Communist ideology forced women to enter the labor market, and differences within Eastern Europe seem to have been smaller than in the West. At this moment, there is a good deal of country-specific information on women's employment, but a cross-national comparison over timeone that compares women's employment in different institutional settings is still lacking.That is the issue taken up in this volume, which contains comparative studies written by authors from the United States, Hungary, Germany, and the Netherlands. Three different perspectives are used. The first is the macro approach, which provides a thorough, focused understanding of the influence of the institutional context on women's work. The second perspective, the micro approach, gives insight into the employment behavior of individual women within a certain context. Finally, the combined macro-micro approach makes clear the extent to which differences in women's work can be ascribed to differences in their institutional context or to their individual characteristics. Implicitly, the book also addresses the methodological question, which of these approaches is best suited for comparative studies of this kind?
Despite the convergence in the level of women's employment, the findings of these studies show that differences between countries are still substantial. These differences refer, for instance, to the number of hours women work, their earnings, and their job level. Children have an impact on women's work in all countries, but again, there are differences among institutional settings. In the East European and Scandinavian countries, women face fewer difficulties to combine paid work with domestic childcare. Women's earnings are also less affected by children in those settings where public childcare is widely available. In some countries where public childcare is lacking, employers try to fulfill the needs of working mothers by offering childcare or parental leave arrangements. These are only a few examples of insights into differing circumstances in women's employment that are provided in this book, which make it a contribution both to gender studies and to studies of the sociology of work.

Big Night: A Novel with Recipes
Joseph Tropiano Manufacturer: St. Martin's Griffin ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0312148445 |
Amazon.com
Big Night was the loveliest cinematic surprise of 1996, a small, delightful comedy about two brothers who hope to turn their new Italian restaurant into a successful business. Joseph Tropiano, who co-wrote the movie, has not written a conventional screenplay or a standard "novelization." Instead, he has turned his story into a compelling novel. Narrated by the brother-protagonists, the book is a wonderful companion to the movie, but also stands beautifully on its own. As a special treat, Tropiano introduces each of the novel's eleven chapters with a recipe for one of the dishes that appears in the movie!Book Description
Set during the early 1950s, this story of love and linguini, purity and compromise--soon to be a major motion picture from MGM--takes a poignant and pointed look at Old World vs. New World values and provides a rueful assessment of the American Dream. In a New Jersey town, two Italian immigrant brothers stuggle to keep their restaurant afloat. Includes recipes.Customer Reviews:
