Women, Work and Care in the Asia-Pacific
AvMarian Baird,Michele Fordm. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 2019
745 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book provides a comparative analysis of the social, economic, industrial and migration dynamics that structure women’s paid work and unpaid care work experience in the Asia-Pacific region. Each country-focused chapter examines the formal and informal ways in which work and care are managed, the changing institutional landscape, gender relations and fertility concerns, employer and trade union responses and the challenges policy makers face and the consequences of their decisions for working women. By covering the entire region, including Australia and New Zealand, the book highlights the way different national work and care regimes are linked through migration, with wealthier countries looking to their poorer neighbours for alternative sources of labour. In addition, the book contributes to debates about the barriers to women’s participation in the workforce, the valuation of unpaid care, the gender wage gap, social protection and labour regulation for migrant workers and gender relations in developing Asia.
Bodies at Work
Reproductive Life and the Unfinished Business of Gender Equality

Envisioning a new world of work that accommodates the reproductive body, including aspects considered taboo—menstruation, fertility, and menopause Women have never been considered “ideal” workers; they menstruate, have babies, sometimes miscarry—and after all that comes menopause. Feminist activists have worked for decades to achieve critical workplace reforms such as paid maternity and parental leave, flexible hours and antidiscrimination protection for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. But other aspects of women’s reproductive lives go largely unaddressed: menstruation, miscarriage, fertility treatments, abortion and menopause. Bodies at Work takes up these issues, often considered taboo in the workplace, to examine the relationship between work and the reproductive body over the life course.The authors point out that such supposedly messy concerns of reproductive life are increasingly relevant in a global labour market shaped by ageing populations, declining fertility and the rising participation of women in paid work. But can these issues be addressed without reinforcing gender inequalities? The authors argue that the notion of an “ideal” worker—body-less, care-less, willing to dedicate all one’s time to a job—is an artefact of a bygone era. What is needed instead is an “ideal workplace” that respects and accommodates the reproductive body. They examine global approaches to policy design, funding and implementation for building genuinely inclusive and diverse workforces that deliver both gender equality and economic security. Bodies at Work challenges us to reimagine a world of work in which the reproductive body is not only fundamental to who we are but essential to the work we do.
Retiring in a New Age

This book examines the concept of retirement, how it has changed, and what the future holds for the next generation of retirees.
The book analyses government data and university surveys of more than 1,000 retirees in Australia and 4,000 retirees in Sweden, as well as in-depth interviews with retirees in each country. It demonstrates that while both countries have differences in their retirement policies and practices, as well as the outcomes for retirees, the process of retirement is undergoing change in both countries as people retire at a range of ages, but often then re-enter the workforce for various reasons. The book proposes four distinctive post-retirement orientations: Stayers, Leavers, Blenders and Disengaged retirees. It then discusses how individuals, employers and governments are responding to the challenges of ‘retiring in a new age’, suggesting policies and a new social contract for retirees that addresses their needs for economic security, physical and mental health, as well as engagement with the wider community.
A book of keen interest to scholars of employment and work relations, human resource management, as well as labour economics. Policymakers and students interested in employment issues which affect economic and social equality will also find the book’s framework fit for use. A full set of interview transcripts and discussion questions are available on the Routledge webpage for download: www.routledge.com/9781041118329

Women's Economic Empowerment and the State
A Critical Human Ecological Approach

E-bok
Engelska, 2026

Läs direkt efter köp
This timely book examines the global trend of women's economic empowerment as a critical pathway to achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5: gender equality. Expert authors integrate feminist, intersectional and critical human ecological perspectives to explore the role of the state in enabling and disabling women's economic empowerment. Querying the concept of economic empowerment, contributing authors analyze the social, policy and economic environments which shape women's social and economic wellbeing. Drawing on research by international scholars, chapters explore how the macro environment interacts with sites of inequality to influence women's economic wellbeing across diverse international settings in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ghana, India, and Ireland. Ultimately, the book identifies three macro environments that advance financial liberation: recognizing and valuing care work, creating opportunities for decent and stable employment and challenging patriarchal gender norms. This book is a crucial resource for scholars and students of gender studies, social policy, politics and public policy, development studies and sociology. Its insights into various aspects of women's economic empowerment, including paid and unpaid work, economic migration, and maternalism, also makes this prime reading for NGOs and national and regional governments interested in executing SDG 5.

Australia is at a much-needed turning point in work, care and family policy. Australian women, families and communities are struggling to manage the complex demands of work and care.Rapid social and demographic change, alongside new workplace, labour market trends and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, requires a policy revamp that will allow all Australians to work, care and be cared for.In seven chapters authored by leading scholars in the field, At a Turning Point: Work, care and family policies in Australia provides a comprehensive account of key policy areas that shape the experience of work and care across the life course. These include reproductive wellbeing, paid parental leave, early childhood education and care, flexible work, elder and disability care, and equitable systems of tax and transfer payments.At a Turning Point argues that a new social contract that puts gender equality, economic security and the well-being of carers and those they care for at the centre of policy design is essential to national productivity and prosperity.It is the foundation of a good society.

Working women everywhere face discrimination. Inequality and lack of inclusion is reinforced through regulation, policy, behaviors and attitudes. Although there has been progress in some countries, gender equality at work has yet to be achieved by any nation.This in-depth study examines the challenges faced by working women, their families and communities in ten countries throughout Asia and the Pacific: New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, Cambodia, India, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Pakistan and the Philippines. Informed by the work of senior academics, policy-makers and community grouprepresentatives, and with a foreword by Elizabeth Broderick, independent expert for the Working Group on Discrimination Against Women and Girls, United Nations Human Rights Council, working women'' s experiences are described and analyzed within a framework of four themes: demography, globalization, technological development and sustainability.Drawing on this wide range of qualitative and quantitative evidence, the authors set out recommendations for coordinated and context-sensitive responses specific to each country to improve the working lives of women and girls.

This book provides original and groundbreaking insights into the development and outcomes of multigenerational workforce strategies in Australian workplaces through the combined lens of age, gender and caring. Based on a large-scale study and real-world case studies with six Australian organisations, it highlights leading policies and practices that promote successful ageing at work, identifies optimal work designs for older workers’ participation, engagement and wellbeing at work, and offers strategies to support workers to combine work and unpaid care at different times in their lives. The book offers essential guidance for those undertaking research on multigenerational workforces, and for managers, human resource staff, diversity and inclusion staff, and other practitioners in organisations seeking to deepen their understanding of age- and gender-inclusive workforce policies and practices in the context of ageing populations and workforces.
