Women's Work and Wages : A Selection of Papers from the 15th Arne Ryde Symposium on 'Economics of Gender and the Family' in Honor of Anna Bugge and Knut Wicksell

At a time when women in industrialized countries have a stronger and more permanent presence in the labour market than ever before, why does the gender pay gap differ so greatly between countries? The contributors to this book use empirical studies of gender differences in family responsibilities and time allocation to demonstrate how such differences affect women's wages and analyse pay structures and wage mobility throughout Europe.
