Helene Ahl – författare

Vid internationella jämförelser framstår Sverige som ett av världens mest jämställda länder. De flesta kvinnor förvärvsarbetar idag och har en egen inkomst. Särbeskattning, föräldraförsäkring, dagis och pappamånader gör att både kvinnor och män kan förena lönearbete och familjeliv. Hur har vi kommit så här långt? Vad återstår att göra? Denna antologi tar avstamp i 1960-talets jämställdhetsdiskussion då boken "Kvinnors liv och arbete" (Studieförbundet Näringsliv och Samhälle 1962) bidrog till att starta debatten om könsroller. "Arbete och jämställdhet" belyser vad som hänt i arbetslivet och i jämställdhetsdiskussionen under femtio år. Den innehåller såväl problematiserande kapitel som kapitel med kunskapsöversikter. och vänder sig till alla som vill öka sina kunskaper om arbetsmarknadsfrågor och jämställdhet. Elva forskare från sex discipliner medverkar. Frågor som författarna behandlar är: förändring i teoretiska förståelser av kvinnor som lönearbetare, historien om invandrade kvinnors arbete, de mångfacetterade grunderna för diskriminering i arbetslivet, nya mönster av arbetskraftsmigration och arbetsgivar-arbetstagarrelationer i servicesektorn, genusmönster i kvinnors företagande, könsrollstänkandets utveckling samt pappapolitikens historia. Medverkande författare: Eva Blomberg och Kirsti Niskanen (red.), Kristina Abiala, Helene Ahl, Monika Edgren, Anne Lise Ellingsæter, Roger Klinth, Anita Nyberg, Jenny-Leontine Olsson, Elisabeth Sundin och Soheyla Yazdanpanah.
