Transformation of Women at Work in Asia
Author: Sukti Dasgupta
Publisher: Sage Publications Pvt. Limited
ISBN: 9789353880989
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
This book examines the drivers of, and barriers to, participation of women in the Asian labour market for its socio-economic development and structural transformation. Based on original comparative research and extensive fieldwork, Transformation of Women at Work in Asia highlights the commonalities as well as the diverse nature of challenges that women across Asia face in gaining access to more and better jobs. Findings show that women across the continent have contributed significantly to its spectacular growth story; yet, social norms and economic factors limit their levels of participation. The book calls for a comprehensive approach to improve opportunities for women's participation in the labour market as well as for the freedom to engage in paid employment. This will, in turn, contribute to a more inclusive growth process. It addresses important challenges faced by women workers and provides policy options for governments to promote decent work opportunities for women across social strata.

Women, Work and Care in the Asia-Pacific
Author: Marian Baird
Publisher: ASAA Women in Asia Series
ISBN: 9780367186173
Category : Caregivers
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
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.

Women and labour markets in Asia : rebalancing for gender equality
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789221247074
Category : Labor market
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
The main components of "rebalancing" have been identified as transition from public to private sector led growth, domestic-led growth of consumption and investments in place of export-led growth, shifts to green jobs and green enterprises and deeper Asian regional integration. The theme of this report is that such rebalancing must, as a matter of both "smart economics" and social justice, also promote gender equality in the labour market.
