European Union and its Neighbours in a Globalized World

This book presents an in-depth, comparative analysis of the legal and social policy challenges arising from EU accession in Central and Eastern European countries, promoting a comparative understanding of the impacts on labour and social security law resulting from participation in the EU.&nbsp;Membership in the European Union has profoundly influenced the development of labour and social security law in the countries that joined it in 2004. Key areas such as anti-discrimination law, working time regulations, rules on posting workers, and work-life balance have undergone significant transformations. EU accession has also reshaped how social security regulations work, while fundamental aspects of employee-employer relations, including collective bargaining and occupational health and safety, have seen notable changes as well.
The book not only addresses the main characteristics and current dynamics of social law regulations in an ever-evolving Europe but also provides valuable insights into methods for addressing these challenges through improved labour regulations.
This book offers an essential resource for understanding the complexities and dynamics of labour and social security law in the context of EU enlargement, offering critical perspectives on both historical developments and future trends.

20 Years of EU Membership

Labour Law and Social Security Law in Central and Eastern Europe

A fully revised and updated tenth anniversary edition of the book that former Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney says "clearly and eloquently lays out the issues at stake"-from the founder of the ERA Coalition, with an introduction by the women's rights icon Gloria Steinem When the Equal Rights Amendment passed Congress in 1972, Richard Nixon was president, and All in the Family's Archie Bunker was telling his wife Edith to "stifle it." Over the next decade, a groundswell of support led to ratification by thirty-five states--just three short of the thirty-eight needed. With the original publication of Equal Means Equal ten years ago, a new ERA Coalition emerged, uniting the wisdom of veteran activists with the digital savvy and momentum of a new generation. Now, thirty-eight states have ratified the ERA, it has met all the constitutional requirements for an amendment, and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Senator Lisa Murkowski have introduced a bipartisan, bicameral resolution; yet, due to a disputed time limit for ratification, it still has not been formally recognized. In this fully revised and updated tenth-anniversary edition, Jessica Neuwirth--founder and former president of the ERA Coalition--explains the current state of the Amendment and lays out the ever greater need for the Amendment through powerful contemporary legal cases and real-world examples. From pay inequity and pregnancy discrimination to violence against women, Neuwirth demonstrates how the lack of constitutional sex equality continues to harm women in the post-Roe era.

This book explores how government-sponsored programs impact the capacity building of resource-poor farming households in the Mymensingh District of Bangladesh, which are marked by poverty, gender inequality, and lack of income-earning opportunities. For this purpose, a mixed-methods research approach was used. Principal component analysis (PCA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were applied to the results of a questionnaire survey to evaluate capacity-building outcomes of rural farmers.
Qualitative analysis such as the Trajectory Equifinality Model (TEM) was employed in the case studies of six local entrepreneurs, three men and three women, to evaluate the effectiveness of a common interest group (CIG) approach to overcome poverty and gender inequality. The analytical results revealed that a mixed-gender CIG consisting of male and female farmers was effective for capacity building along with group leadership, crop diversification, access to seed, and mechanized farming compared with those in a single-gender CIG or among non-CIG farmers. In addition, it was demonstrated that a CIG approach was effective for entrepreneurial development through the formation and mobilization of social capital.
Access to finance, workplace culture, and institutional support were the most crucial factors for entrepreneurship development to ensure gender equality and economic empowerment. Research showed that in order to enhance the capacity of resource-poor farmers, the government should pay attention to gender diversity management to minimize existing gaps and to achieve income-generating agriculture through public–private partnerships. In other words, a gender-inclusive entrepreneurial environment is essential to facilitate socio-cultural transformation for sustainable socio-economic development in Bangladesh.

Capacity-building, Entrepreneurship Development and Gender Empowerment in Bangladesh: A Mixed Methods Research

A stirring, comprehensive look at the state of women in the workforce—why women’s progress has stalled, how our economy fosters unproductive competition, and how we can fix the system that holds women back. In an era of supposed equality, women are falling behind in the workplace faster than before, a trend exacerbated by Covid-19. Even with more women in the workforce than in decades past, wage gaps continue to increase. It is the most educated women who have fallen the furthest from behind. Blue-collar women hold the most insecure and badly paid jobs in our economy. And even as we celebrate high-profile representation—women on the board of Fortune 500 companies and our first female vice president—women have limited recourse when they experience harassment and discrimination. Fair Shake: Women and the Fight to Build a Just Economy explains that the system that governs our economy—a winner-take-all economy—is the root cause of these myriad problems. The WTA self-selects aggressive, cutthroat business tactics, which creates a feedback loop that sidelines women. The authors, three legal scholars, call this feedback loop “the triple bind”: if women don’t compete on the same terms as men, they lose; if women do compete on the same terms as men, they’re punished more harshly for their sharp elbows or actual misdeeds; and when women see that they can’t win on the same terms as men, they take themselves out of the game (as if they haven’t been pushed out already). With odds like these stacked against them, it’s no wonder women feel like, no matter how hard they work, they can’t get ahead. Drawing on rich storytelling often found in legal documents, Fair Shake makes a compelling case for why existing laws fail to protect women. It not only diagnoses the problem of what’s wrong with the modern economy, but shows how, with awareness and collective action, we can build a truly just economy for all.

This book examines the future of Indigenous law in Africa in connection with the legislative privatisation of Indigenous land tenure in Africa. It seeks to determine whether this privatisation has destroyed, altered, amended, or improved Indigenous law through a legislative process that has been a source of relief, controversy, concern, and frustration. The central question it addresses is: What remains of Indigenous law in the wake of this privatisation?
The book highlights Africa’s multiple legal regimes and the need to constantly question the future of these diverse legal orders, particularly Indigenous law, which paradoxically represents the majority legal order yet remains subordinate to state law and practice, even in African states that have constitutionalised indigenous law. It argues for reimagining multi-stakeholder-managed land tenure as part of the search for a moral order – a search that Indigenous African communities should continue to pursue, guided by the norms of solidarity, care, compassion, and sustenance evident in the relationships nurtured in property relations.

This report examines obstacles to women's labor force participation in Sri Lanka, identifies laws and policies that shape participation in specific occupations and sectors, and proposes strategies to overcome systemic barriers. 

The evolution of female labor force participation in Sri Lanka over the past several decades reveals both progress and stagnation, influenced by varying demographic, economic, and social factors. This report examines the key factors affecting the persistently low rates of women's participation in the country's workforce. It combines an extensive review of literature with empirical analysis of national datasets and provides insights for policymakers, development partners, and civil society organizations.

Exploring the Factors Behind Low Female Labor Force Participation in Sri Lanka

Everyone needs to love and be loved - even men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways that patriarchal culture keeps them from knowing themselves, from being in touch with their feelings, from loving. In&nbsp;The Will to Change, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are—whatever their age, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. But toxic masculinity punishes those fundamental emotions, and it’s so deeply ingrained in our society that it’s hard for men to not comply—but hooks wants to help change that. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. She believes men can find the way to spiritual unity by getting back in touch with the emotionally open part of themselves—and lay claim to the rich and rewarding inner lives that have historically been the exclusive province of women. A brave and astonishing work,&nbsp;The Will to Change&nbsp;is designed to help men reclaim the best part of themselves.

Work remains much as it always has: men occupy the vast majority of leadership roles and are overrepresented in positions from engineer to plumber. We see many jobs as "male" or "female," with women dominating in healthcare and childcare professions. Pretending that this is the natural state of things-or that, instead, both sexes should submit to working 24/7-is just not right.
In Patriarchy Inc., Cordelia Fine examines with razor-sharp and quick-witted analysis why gender inequality is embedded in the workplace and why it has to change. Drawing on theories from evolutionary science, psychology, economics, and sociology, she examines two of the most prominent movements in the corporate world. The Different But Equal viewpoint espouses that women are in the jobs they want despite their lower status and salaries. In the meantime, DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) has become a slogan that emphasizes productivity and profit, not fair play. Fine shows how both are wrong and the bad effects on everyone when men are still stuck in traditional breadwinner roles and women are having to fight for their due.
Offering perceptive and much-needed insight into the current state of work, Patriarchy Inc. explores how we can get closer to achieving equality, even if it means upturning business as usual.

What We Get Wrong about Gender Equality?and Why Men Still Win at Work

Patriarchy Inc

A NEW SCIENTIST BEST POPULAR SCIENCE BOOK OF 2025 Huge social changes occurring in real time are leading us to rethink traditional roles in our homes, workplaces and in society. So why do women who outearn their male partners still tend to do more housework and childcare? Why are unemployed men generally happier if their female partners are also unemployed? Why is unpaid labour still seen as a less important contribution than paid work within family units? In Breadwinners, award-winning science journalist Melissa Hogenboom interviews dozens of female breadwinners, stay-at-home dads and same-sex couples, comparing their stories to the latest research to demonstrate the consequences of changing dynamics. She reveals how pursuing and maintaining power is a key part of every human interaction, affecting every area of our lives. Breadwinners shows how, the closer we look, the easier it is to see the influence of power structures all around us. Ultimately, it gives readers the tools to address imbalances and improve our relationships at home and at work. If we can share power more equally, we can improve not only our own wellbeing but also recognise how to dismantle social structures that are seemingly set in stone.
