"This book examines the main labour market and organizational issues in relation to women's employment in the twenty-first century. Women, Employment and Organizations concludes that the rise in women's employment poses challenges for the liberal state, in terms of who cares for children and the elderly, as well as for social justice and wider issues such as falling birth rates. It is essential reading for students and lecturers in Business Studies, Sociology, Social Policy and Gender Studies, as well as for policy-makers."--Jacket.
