Women and the Labour Market (Routledge Research in Gender and Society)

Despite the expansion of female employment over the past twenty years, women continue to be crowded into a small number of occupations which, in the main, represent low-paid jobs. This book analyzes this issue, and examines one route of escape: self-employment. In the USA women have increasingly been following this path, and the growth in women-only businesses is testimony to the possibilities this allows for increasing economic independence.Borooah, Vani K. is the author of 'Women and the Labour Market (Routledge Research in Gender and Society)', published 2010 under ISBN 9780415216012 and ISBN 041521601X.
