Men and women''s distinctive roles in productive activity affect their economic independence. The book uses basic economic principles to analyze the differences between men and women who are in employment, are unemployed or are non-participant in labour markets. The extent to which domestic responsibilities affect labour market participation varies considerably between men and women with implications for their promotion prospects and their earnings. This book considers the policy implications of the different economic roles of men and women.

This book draws upon the experiences of a group of women in social science who came together for support and encouragement in becoming ''research active''. It identifies the main issues facing women in research and will be useful to those considering, or already embarked upon a research career as well as contributing to debates about women''s role in the academic world. This collection breaks new ground by combining the reflections of established researchers with self-assessment exercises for potential researchers.
