Slovenia / Jana Javornik.Under communism there was, in the countries of Eastern Europe, a high level of gender equality in the labour market, particularly in terms of high participation rates by women. The transition from communism has upset this situation, with different impacts in the different countries. This book presents a comprehensive overview of gender and the labour market since the fall of communism in a wide range of Eastern European countries. Each country chapter describes the nature of inequality in the particular country, and goes on to examine the factors responsible for this, including government policies, changing social attitudes, levels of educational attainment and the impact of motherhood. Overall, the book provides an interesting comparison to the situation in Western developed countries, outlining differences and similarities. No one single Eastern European model emerges while, as in Western developed countries, a range of experiences and trends is the norm.Routledge contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe series.Sex discrimination in employmentEurope, EasternLabor marketEurope, EasternEqual pay for equal workEurope, EasternWomenEmploymentEurope, EasternPost-communismEurope, EasternSex discrimination in employmentLabor marketEqual pay for equal workWomenEmploymentPost-communism331.13/30947331.41330947Razzu Giovanni918078FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910148736903321Gender inequality in the Eastern European labour market2058526UNINA
