Women, Work and Care in the Asia-Pacific

Beschreibung

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, the challenges policy makers face and the consequences of their decisions for working women. Overall, the book contributes to debates about the barriers to women's participation in the workforce, the valuation of unpaid care, the gender wage gap, and gender relations in developing Asia.
