متن يادداشت
"The first book to study women's poverty over the life course, this wide-ranging collection focuses on the economic condition of single mothers and single elderly women - while also considering partnered women and immigrants - in eight wealthy but diverse countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
متن يادداشت
In a rich analysis of labor market and social welfare sectors, Gertrude Schaffner Goldberg and a team of outstanding international contributors conclude that both living-wage employment and government provision of adequate benefits and services are necessary if lone women are to achieve a socially acceptable living standard. Taken together, the chapters extend a feminist critique of welfare state theories and chart nations' disparate progress against poverty - probing, for instance, how Sweden emerged a leader in the prevention of women's poverty while the United States continues to lag."--Pub. desc.
