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. 606 $aSex discrimination in employment 606 $aSocial change 606 $aSexual division of labor 615 0$aSex discrimination in employment. 615 0$aSocial change. 615 0$aSexual division of labor. 676 $a331.4/133 700 $aBrowne$b Jude$01545352 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784518803321 996 $aSex segregation and inequality in the modern labour market$93800242 997 $aUNINA
