Employing a sophisticated new theoretical framework, and drawing on original fieldwork, the book develops a subtle account of the phenomenon of sex segregation and offers a major challenge to existing approaches. In an environment increasingly defined by attempts to converge and consolidate international policy objectives, an in-depth understanding of contemporary forms of inequality is vital to anyone interested in the effective translation of normative accounts of social justice into practical policy. Aimed at academics and advanced students working in social policy, sociology and political science, as well as policy makers, this book makes an important contribution to knowledge and debate in the field.Sex discrimination in employmentSexual division of laborSocial changeSex discrimination in employment.Sexual division of labor.Social change.331.4/133Browne Jude1592488MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821142003321Sex segregation and inequality in the modern labour market4018818UNINA
