Download or read book Women Work And School written by Leslie R. Wolfe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-01-26 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite nearly two decades of advocacy for equal education and employment, women remain clustered in the lowest-paid, lowest-status jobs in clerical, service, and industrial work. Occupational segregation also continues within professional and technical fields. This book examines the critical link between sex stereotyping in education and occupational inequities in the work place. Contributors first assess the impact of sex and race stereotyping and discrimination on girls in school. Next they examine workplace issues–including job training, access to non-traditional jobs, and occupational segregation. A final section takes up the question of the role of education in perpetuating or alleviating women's poverty. The book concludes by offering a number of policy recommendations and strategies for change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By combining history, theory, philosophy, case studies and monographs with broader issues, Changing Education shows how educational experience and knowledge are deeply gendered. One of its strengths--indeed the excitement of women's studies in general--is its breadth and interdisciplinary nature. It pays attention to such issues in feminist theory andwomen's studies as women's culture and the sameness versus difference debate; at the same time it provides a wealth of information and new material that is not available elsewhere." -- Susan Ware, New York University "It highlights gender as a cultural phenomenon, showing that women's experience in education has been shaped by gender-specific stereotypes and concepts. At the same time, the essays show how women used gender categories to their own advantage to create new lines of work (such as kindergarten teaching and child study activity) or to overcome societal prejudice by way of collective action (such as the Boston Women's Health Collective). "It makes an important contribution to the debate about women's culture versus women's politics, showing the significance of each; e.g., the women's page of the Jewish Daily Foreword as a vehicle for women's (traditional) culture and contemporary committed feminism. I think you have a winner here." -- Ann J. Lane, Colgate University

Download or read book Gendered Jobs and Social Change written by Rosemary Crompton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-20 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1990, Gendered Jobs and Social Change is a systematic exploration of the changing structure of women’s paid work in Britain since the Second World War and an invaluable and accessible text for undergraduate students, and teachers and researchers, in the areas of employment, gender, and class theory. Four substantial case-study chapters, drawing upon original research material, give in-depth accounts of developments across the whole range of women’s employment, from the ‘post-feminist’ finance professional to unskilled workers in the hotel and catering industry. This empirical work is set within a context of discussion relating to current theoretical debates of the time concerning gender, occupational segregation, and class and stratification theory and research; it is then complemented by a review of the structure of women’s employment in other western countries. Besides making an original contribution to research and theory, it also provides an invaluable summary and critique of developments at the time within a series of important sociological debates.

Download or read book Gender Equality and American Jews written by Moshe Hartman and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender Equality and American Jews studies gender equality in education, labor force participation, and occupational achievement among American Jews, based on the 1990 National Jewish Population Survey. It first focuses on education and training as key "gatekeepers" to roles in the economy, and then on the gender differences in labor force behavior and occupational attainment. To place American Jews in perspective, they are compared to the wider American population, and to Israeli Jews, presenting a multi-dimensional analysis of American Jewishness in the 1990s. The difficulties of comparing Israel and American Jews are discussed, lending insights into the similarities and differences between the two cultures. The authors draw on a solid base of sociological literature, placing American Jews in the wider American context with comparative data. The book discusses the conclusions that can be drawn from the analysis along with some policy implications.

Download or read book Labor Force Participation Patterns and Earnings of Women Clerical Workers written by Marianne A. Ferber and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few women, even today, remain in the labor market full time all their adult lives, and few give as high a priority to market work as men generally do. This paper investigates the impact of various patterns of labor force participation on the wage rate of female clerical workers, the single largest occupational category for women. It was found that while the effect of such variables as years of experience, years of hometime, percent time worked, and education is relatively modest, number of years with current employer has a large positive effect, and having been a service or blue collar worker has a significant negative effect. Over-all we conclude that a young woman who considers only the immediate effect of her labor market decisions during the early stages of her life cycle seriously underestimates their total long run results.
