GENDER, PLACE AND THE LABOUR MARKET

"Gender, Place and the Labour Market explores the geography of women's participation in the UK labour markets and discusses the factors which both influence women's decision-making processes and contribute to the formation of their perceived societal role. Drawing on interviews with individual women, this volume examines women's labour market activity at both national and district levels, highlighting the importance of local social processes and the availability of jobs in the local economy in women's decision-making. It also compares the choices the Government claim to provide with the choices individual women feel they have when it comes to negotiating their everyday lives."--BOOK JACKET.
