An International Comparison of School-to-Work Transitions
Edited by Hans-Peter Blossfeld, Jan Skopek, Moris Triventi, and Sandra Buchholz

This book asks whether or not women have been able to convert their educational success into gains on the labor market

Cover Gender, Development and Disasters
Gender, Development and Disasters
Sarah Bradshaw
Sarah Bradshaw critically examines key notions, such as gender, vulnerability, risk, and humanitarianism, underpinning development and disaster discourse. Case studies are used to demonstrate how disasters are experienced individually and collectively as gendered events. Through consideration of processes to engender development, it problematizes women’s inclusion in disaster response and reconstruction. The study highlights that while women are now central to both disaster response and development, tackling gender inequality is not. By critically reflecting on gendered disaster response and the gendered impact of disasters on processes of development, it exposes some important lessons for future policy.

Cover The Costs of Children
The Costs of Children
Parenting and Democracy in Contemporary Europe
Edited by David G. Mayes and Mark Thomson
The expert contributors provide an assessment of how countries can handle the fair allocation of the costs of childcare. They look at the experience within Europe in recent years and show in particular how these interrelate with the objectives of improving income, employment and social inclusion. The book’s conclusion reveals that choice is the key ingredient as families have different views and different degrees of support available from their relatives. Income and social inclusion can provide choice but ironically employment does not always. An employment-based model can sometimes narrow people’s choices, particularly for people on low wages. The major concern is that most existing systems effectively discriminate against mothers.

Gendered Lives
Gender Inequalities in Production and Reproduction
Edited by Jacqueline Scott, Shirley Dex, and Anke C. Plagnol
The focus of the book is on inequalities in production and reproductive activities, as played out over time and in specific contexts. It examines the different forms that gendered lives take in the household and the workplace, and explores how gender equalities may be promoted in a changing world. Gendered Lives offers many novel and sometimes unexpected findings that contribute to new understandings of not only the causes of gender inequalities but also the ongoing implications for economic well-being and societal integration.
