Trends and Prospects in Cross-National Perspective

Equal Pay for Women

The current economic crisis, with diverging employment outcomes in different countries, has revealed the ongoing relevance of comparative industrial relations, but also the need for its renewal. The hitherto dominating approaches, based on institutions and national 'models', do not pay sufficient attentions to change and to international factors. This book fills the gap by tracing the patterns of change in industrial relations in the six largest EU countries during the last twenty years, under the pressure of three crucial international forces: multinational companies, labour migration, and EU policies. Written in an accessible language and enriched by empirical case studies, it is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners.

The current economic crisis, with diverging outcomes in terms of employment in countries like Germany as opposed to countries like the UK or Spain, have revealed the ongoing relevance of comparative industrial relations, but also the need for its renewal. The hitherto dominating approaches, based on institutions and national ‘models’, do not pay sufficient attentions to change and to international factors. This book fills the gap by tracing the patterns of change in industrial relations in the six largest EU countries during the last twenty years, under the pressure of three crucial international forces: multinational companies, labour migration, and EU policies. Based on two year of intensive first-hand research in the six countries, it presents an integrated argument on the ongoing relevance of national political traditions in the ways international pressures on employment relations are dealt with. It will conclude that despite twenty years of international liberalisation, the labour market remains an essentially political construction, whose understanding requires attention to the diversity of social actors, as well as to their increasing cross-border relations. This diagnosis has important implications for the nature of democracy and social rights in the European Union.Written in an accessible language and enriched by empirical case studies, it will be aimed at researchers, practitioners, undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Routledge IAFFE Advances in Feminist Economics

Black women in the United States have often been the subject of negative stereotypes, which have distorted perceptions of their unique work history and the challenges that they have faced in providing for their families. Black Women in the U.S. Economy: The Hardest Working Woman challenges the popular rhetoric about black women by presenting an empirical analysis of their labor market experiences and the critical role that black women play in providing for and sustaining their families and communities. The book explores the multiple identities, roles, and experiences of black women in the U.S. economy, addressing issues including their contribution to the social economy, how they have been affected by U.S economic restructuring, and the impact of increasing economic inequality on the wellbeing of black women and children.

Black women in the United States have often been the subject of negative stereotypes, which have distorted perceptions of their unique work history and the challenges that they have faced in providing for their families. Black Women in the U.S. Economy: The Hardest Working Woman challenges the popular rhetoric about black women by presenting an empirical analysis of their labor market experiences and the critical role that black women play in providing for and sustaining their families and communities. The authors use a Black Feminist framework along with applied microeconomics and econometrics in order to understand the multiple identities, roles, and experiences of black women in the U.S. economy. The book’s multi-dimensional analysis covers issues including black women’s contribution to the social economy, how economic restructuring in the U.S. has impacted on black women, and how declining wages since the 1970s have led to economic inequality and the impact that this has had on the wellbeing of black women and children. All chapters situate their analysis of the economic status of black women within the context of market forces, social relations among counter-groups, and political economy. This groundbreaking study will be essential reading for all those with an interest in Economics, Women’s Studies, Africana Studies and Sociology.

The Hardest Working Woman

Black Women in the U.S. Economy

Single mothers face unique economic challenges, which have persisted despite women's gains in higher education and the workplace. Drawing on forty years of data from two national surveys, Nicholas H. Wolfinger and Matthew McKeever explore the contradictions that lie at the heart of single motherhood. They find that some single mothers are doing better even as others have fallen through the cracks. Providing an in-depth look into the economics of single motherhood, Thanks for Nothing offers the most detailed statistical portrait of single mothers to date and, importantly, provides concrete suggestions for how policymakers should respond to persisting inequalities among mothers.

In 1980, single mother families were five times more likely than two-parent families to be poor. Forty years later, single-mother families are still five times more likely to be poor. How can this be given the vast increases in education and employment achieved by American women over this period? 

In Thanks for Nothing, Nicholas H. Wolfinger and Matthew McKeever explore the contradictions that lie at the heart of single motherhood. Drawing on forty years of data from two large national surveys, they find that the mystery of single mothers' economic stagnation can be explained by changes in the kind of women most likely to become single mothers. In 1980, most single mothers were divorced women; forty years later, the majority are mothers who gave birth out of wedlock. On paper, divorced women look a lot like their married contemporaries, but with one income instead of two. Never-married mothers are a completely different population--they have less education, work less, and receive lower economic returns on their educational credentials when they do work. They're also far more likely to have grown up in underprivileged families. Ultimately, Wolfinger and McKeever find that some single mothers are doing better even as others have fallen through the cracks.

The Economics of Single Motherhood since 1980

Thanks for Nothing

The book is written for a wide audience so that readers outside of manufacturing organizations can understand the broad applicability of the Toyota way. In addition, It is written succinctly to help readers and practitioners focus their transformation efforts.

This book helps close the gap in how organizations think about and implement Toyota’s continuous improvement methods and management system. The Toyota Production System (TPS) is often viewed and adopted in organizations as a collection of tools to remove waste and streamline processes to provide products or services faster, better, or cheaper. While the tools for improvement and management routines are important, they are not where the true power of the system lies. The author’s eight-year journey inside Toyota was full of experiences that developed the power for continuous improvement. These learnings are rarely if ever captured in books on Lean or taught in business and engineering classrooms. This book describes, in part, how Toyota, through its coaches and leaders, develops its members’ capabilities through a series of continuous improvement (kaizen and problem-solving) activities. For many members of Toyota, this process results in a personal transformation that ultimately leads to organizational transformation. This book presents a model for organizational transformation that includes technical systems, organizational principles/values, and spirituality/mindset to achieve enduring high performance. This book shifts from the continuous improvement development way at Toyota to case studies illustrating the thinking and mindset to other organizations on their journey to transformation. It uses the TPS tools as an entry point for development and highlights the role that organizational values play in the pace of transformation. Several case studies are presented that include manufacturing (performance improvement of a production line), healthcare (improvement in neurosurgery patient flow), and education (improvement in standardized test scores). The key benefit of this book is that it provides insights into Toyota’s culture and improvement thinking to help other organizations reach enduring high performance. The book is written for a wide audience so that readers outside of manufacturing organizations can understand the broad applicability of the Toyota way. In addition, It is written succinctly to help readers and practitioners focus their transformation efforts.
