The labor market was experiencing a significant transformation, driven by the advancements of new technology and the implementation of positive action training for women. This transformative shift held the potential to reshape patterns of gender segregation in the workplace. Originally published in 1992, Teresa Rees' work, Women and the Labour Market, draws upon a diverse range of international studies on these topics and contextualizes them within the current theoretical and political discourse.
Women and the Labour Market, based on research conducted in Britain, Germany, and Australia, delves into education and training policy, changes in labor supply, and alterations in the nature and size of labor demand. It sheds light on the barriers to equality in the workplace, highlighting how the ideology of the family, the constraints of material reality, and the exclusionary mechanisms perpetuated by men have adversely impacted women's experiences in paid work. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the patriarchal influence on shaping the labor market and explores the development of policy measures aimed at dismantling gender inequalities.
A noteworthy contribution to the debates of its time, Women and the Labour Market offers practical suggestions for reforming the system at critical junctures of recruitment, training, and work organization. By addressing these key areas, the study aims to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace for all.
