Summary: This volume, Gender in the Workplace, examines many of the economic and social forces that have propelled women into the work force and determined their treatment on the job. The eight papers, written by twelve distinguished social scientists, explore the changing consumption patterns of families as more women entered the work force; occupational segregation by sex in a large insurance company, in bank telling, and among part-time workers; subcontracting as a method of reducing women's wages; the effect of unionization on the male-female wage gap; enforcement of child support awards to improve the economic condition of single mothers; and the use of subsidies to encourage companies to meet gender-based employment quotas.
