It is common for European couples living fairly egalitarian lives to adopt a traditional division of labour at the transition to parenthood. Based on in-depth interviews with 334 parents-to-be in eight European countries, this book explores the implications of family policies and gender culture from the perspective of couples who are expecting their first child. Couples’ Transitions to Parenthood: Analysing Gender and Work in Europe is the first comparative, qualitative study that explicitly locates couples’ parenting ideals and plans in the wider context of national institutions.

La conciliación de la vida laboral y familiar constituye uno de los ejes esenciales del derecho a la igualdad y no discriminación por razón de sexo en asuntos de empleo y ocupación. Las actuaciones políticas y legislativas llevadas a cabo en las últimas décadas se han centrado en proporcionar a las personas trabajadoras mecanismos para resolver el conflicto entre la actividad laboral y las responsabilidades familiares, bien mediante derechos de ausencia, en una primera etapa, bien mediante derechos de presencia que operan sobre la distribución de la jornada de trabajo, más recientemente. Pese a los esfuerzos y avances innegables, la conciliación de la vida laboral y familiar continúa siendo un aspecto especialmente delicado en la carrera de las mujeres, a quienes la sociedad sigue vinculando en mayor medida con el cuidado de la familia. Además, la disolución del espacio y el tiempo de trabajo propiciada por las nuevas tecnologías o por la extensión del trabajo a distancia amenaza muchas de las conquistas conseguidas. Por estas razones urge incorporar la corresponsabilidad definitivamente a los instrumentos jurídicos ideados en pro de la conciliación. Se trata de concebir la igualdad dentro y fuera del hogar hasta sus últimas consecuencias. No obstante, es el principio gender mainstreaming el que debe presidir las nuevas medidas legislativas, así como la interpretación judicial y los instrumentos fruto de la autonomía colectiva que rigen la cotidianeidad de las relaciones laborales. Asimismo, es necesario un nuevo enfoque que ponga en valor los trabajos de cuidado y visibilice su importancia y repercusión para la propia sociedad. Persistir en la ignorancia de estos trabajos y feminizarlos contribuye a ensanchar la brecha sobre el derecho a la igualdad y a la no discriminación, como ha quedado patente en la reciente crisis sanitaria y sus consecuencias. La presente obra analiza todas estas cuestiones desde la convicción de que la igualdad no exige una mera equiparación formal entre las personas de distinto sexo, sino la auténtica garantía de poder ejercer los mismos derechos con idéntica intensidad.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Recent research shows there is a surprisingly high exodus of successful female executives from the corporate sector. This takes place at a level well beyond the conventional family-raising stage and appears to be related to more fundamental issues of life-style choice and alienation from a male corporate culture. This book explores the phenomenon through a qualitative study of 16 women who have reached middle or senior management levels and paused to review their careers. By telling their stories in detail, Marshall explores their experiences of working in male-dominated cultures, being change agents, why they decided to leave and what their next steps are.

Including international comparative analysis alongside national case studies, this volume offers a wealth of information on the new trends which have emerged over the past decades - all of which were discussed at the recent 9th International Symposium on Working Time, Paris (2004). It looks at the increasing use of results-based employment relationships for managers and professionals, and the increasing fragmentation of time to more closely tailor staffing needs to customer requirements (e.g., short-hours, part-time work). Moreover, as operating/opening hours rapidly expand toward a 24-hour and 7-day economy, the book considers how this has resulted in a growing diversification, decentralization, and individualization of working hours, as well as an increasing tension between enterprises' business requirements and workers' needs and preferences regarding their hours. This new reality has raised some other challenging issues as well and the volume addresses those such as increasing employment insecurity and instability, time-related social inequalities, particularly in relation to gender, workers' ability to balance their paid work with their personal lives, and even the synchronization of working hours with social times, such as community activities.
