Leiden; Boston : BRILL, 2004. 1 online resource. text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource rdacarrier Social Sciences in Asia ; 1 Description based on print version record. The essays in this volume explore women's working and family lives in contemporary East and Southeast Asia, focusing on conflict between family and work roles, structural obstacles in the workplace, and the impact of state policies on women's well-being. It also discusses strategies that women employ in response to structural contraints provided in the context. This volume covers a particularly wide range of societies, some of which were rarely studied, in contemporary Asia. By comparing these ten Asian economies that are at different stages of economic development, the volume demonstrates the way in which gender relations transform in the course of development. The book is particularly important for sociologists and anthropologists who are interested in gender and economic development. Includes bibliographical references and index. 1.
