Rather than constraining economic development, labour market institutions, including the laws that regulate the labour market, are important for both economic growth as well as the well-being of the workforce. Through a survey of different labour market institutions in developing countries, this volume reaffirms the importance of labour market institutions in this era of globalization.Economic developmentEconomicsIndustrializationEconomic development.Economics.Industrialization.301.24331.12091724International Labour Office804699Berg Janine954756Kucera David926983AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910305553603321In Defence of Labour MarketInstitutions2159494UNINA03703nam 2200745 450 991081281090332120230421031012.01-4426-5875-41-4426-2784-010.3138/9781442627840(CKB)3710000000324466(EBL)3296849(SSID)ssj0001470762(PQKBManifestationID)11919615(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001470762(PQKBWorkID)11413017(PQKB)10842948(MiAaPQ)EBC4670182(CEL)449462(OCoLC)903441047(CaBNVSL)thg00916153(MiAaPQ)EBC3296849(DE-B1597)465543(OCoLC)1013939070(OCoLC)944178808(DE-B1597)9781442627840(Au-PeEL)EBL4670182(CaPaEBR)ebr11256696(OCoLC)958564978(EXLCZ)99371000000032446620160914h19942010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrMaking and breaking the rules women in Quebec, 1919-1939 /Andree Levesque ; translated by Yvonee M.

Commercial Sex: Prostitution --Conclusion --Notes --IndexDuring the interwar period, Quebec was a strongly patriarchal society, where men in the Church, politics, and medicine, maintained a traditional norm of social and sexual standards that women were expected to abide by. Some women in the media and religious communities were complicit with this vision, upholding the "ideal" as the norm and tending to those "deviants" who failed to meet society's expectations. By examining the underside of a staid and repressive society, Andrée Lévesque reveals an alternate and more accurate history of women and sexual politics in early twentieth-century Quebec. Women, mainly of the working class, left traces in the historical record of their transgressions from the norm, including the rejection of motherhood (e.g., abortion, abandonment, infanticide), pregnancy and birth outside of marriage, and prostitution. Professor Lévesque concludes, "They were deviant, but only in relation to a norm upheld to stave off a modernism that threatened to swallow up a Quebec based on long-established social and sexual roles."Canadian social history series.WomenSexual behaviorQuébec (Province)History20th centuryWomenQuébec (Province)Conduct of lifeHistory20th centuryMotherhoodQuébec (Province)History20th centuryProstitutionQuébec (Province)History20th centuryWomenSexual behaviorHistoryWomenConduct of lifeHistoryMotherhoodHistoryProstitutionHistory306.7/082Lévesque Andrée1133995Klein Yvonee M.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812810903321Making and breaking the rules3949475UNINA
