{"product_id":"9780198279440","title":"Gender Segregation and Social Change","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite profound economic and social changes in Britain during the 1980s, men and women remain highly segregated at work - a segregation strongly related to inequalities in pay, career prospects, and employment protection. This book analyzes the nature and significance of gender segregation within the context of labour market change.;The analysis has many novel features. These include a combination of economic and sociological approaches; the integration of demand and supply  explanations; systematic comparisons between \"male\" and \"female\" jobs; the incorporation of work history and life cycle  variables; and the investigation of \"sexist attitudes\" and the sex-labelling of jobs. The effects of social change are analyzed through employer, industry, and locality case studies. The results show that the sex ratio of a job is an important aspect of labour market structure, whether or not gender is the focus of the study, and that desegregation is still  a long way off.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alison MacEwen Scott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52712625307966,"sku":"9780198279440","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780198279440.jpg?v=1765290263","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780198279440","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
