It shows a positive relationship between women's workforce participation and childbirth. It theorises a new approach to explaining this 'fertility paradox' that looks at institutional factors influencing gender equality in developed nations. The book analyses a range of institutional variables that impact the positive relationship between female employment and fertility rates, including labour market institutions, social policies and welfare state institutions (family policies, active labour market programs and public sector employment) as well as household gender dynamics. Written for both academics and policy-makers, this book has theoretical relevance for research on gender and work, and also for policies aimed at increasing women's employment and redressing low fertility, which are important issues in many developed nations. 606 $aOrganizational sociology 606 $aOccupations$xSociological aspects 606 $aSex 606 $aFertility, Human 606 $aDemography 606 $aPopulation 606 $aPsychology, Industrial 606 $aSociology of Organizations and Occupations 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aFertility 606 $aPopulation and Demography 606 $aWork and Organizational Psychology 615 0$aOrganizational sociology. 615 0$aOccupations$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aFertility, Human. 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 0$aPsychology, Industrial. 615 14$aSociology of Organizations and Occupations. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aFertility. 615 24$aPopulation and Demography. 615 24$aWork and Organizational Psychology. 676 $a302.35 676 $a305.9 700 $aDinale$b Daniel$01453086 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910767523803321 996 $aWomen's Employment and Childbearing in Post-Industrialized Societies$93655581 997 $aUNINA
