Reviews

an informative and thought-provoking collection of papers...This volume makes a valuable contribution to the feminist literature. By placing laws and policies in their social contexts, it provides a comparative analysis of the challenges precarious employment growth and feminization of labour present to labour law...The book will be of interest to a broad international audience of economists, sociologists, and industrial relations and human resource management specialists, as well as legal scholars...I would strongly recommend this book to any Feminist Economics reader who is interested in flexibility, workplace changes, and gender and precarious work issues.Isik Urla ZeytinogluFeminist Economics14 (3), July 2008
