Book excerpt: What is the place of women in global labour policies? 'Women?s ILO: Transnational Networks, Global Labour Standards, and Gender Equity, 1919 to Present' gathers new research on a century of ILO engagement with women?s work.

Intersectional, transnational, and interdisciplinary, Women?s ILO explores gendered dynamics on issues like equal remuneration, home-based labour, and social welfare and practices in places like Argentina, Italy, Ghana, and internationally, expanding the boundaries of feminism, charting the disparate advancement of gender equity, and highlighting the significant role of women experts and activists in these processes.
Download or read book The State and Women in the Economy written by Jean Larson Pyle and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1990-10-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the effect of state policies on womens roles in the economy. At the most concrete level it investigates the relative lack of response of womens labor force activity rates to export-led development in the Republic of Ireland. At a broader level, it provides critical insights into current labor market debates regarding the causes of womens subordination and the efficacy of state policies designed to alleviate them. The book shows how the state, in addition to and interactively with the workplace and household, can maintain gender inequality. In so doing, Pyle demonstrates the usefulness of a revitalized and broader structural approach to feminist analysis.
