Reseña del editor:

"Convergence, Persistence and Diversity in Male and Female Careers: A Comparison of Gendered Employment Mobility Patterns in West Germany and Denmark" is work of social (gender) science.

Reseña del editor:

Little comparative knowledge exists on how the radical transformations that constitute the late 20th century's era of globalization have affected gender relations and their particular structural manifestation on the labor market, thereby neglecting a core element of the changes and problems currently underway. This book analyzes how converging tendencies in the life courses and employment careers of men and women interfere with developing increased diversity and instability, both within and between sexes, as economies move from industrial to global. This study uses the shifting welfare regimes of West Germany and Denmark as illustrative evidence of how national context 'genders' the risks and chances associated with globalization and increasing employment flexibility. It provides a timely, comprehensive longitudinal analysis of the gendered career consequences of recent political and economic change.
