This comprehensive book delves into the intricate challenges faced by women in the labor market in the twenty-first century. It identifies the multifaceted factors that hinder their participation, conducts a thorough analysis of occupational segregation by gender, explores labor transitions, raises critical questions about whether men and women experience distinct outcomes, and examines the impact of entrepreneurship support programs on their economic and social positions. Furthermore, the book extends its scope to examine working women in Mexico, offering valuable comparisons with countries like Spain and developing nations within Eastern Europe. It encompasses a wide range of topics, approached from a gender-sensitive lens, including labor participation, the feminization of poverty, migration patterns, wage disparities, employment shifts, informal work arrangements, and public policy developments.

In conclusion, this timely and topical analysis provides a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and graduate students specializing in economics, particularly in the study of the labor market from a gender perspective. It is also of immense interest to government institutions tasked with designing public programs and policies, as well as non-governmental and non-profit organizations dedicated to promoting gender equality and social justice. By shedding light on the complex dynamics shaping women's labor market experiences, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of the barriers and opportunities that exist for women in the workplace and beyond.
