Welcome - Comparative Perspectives on Gender and Work GWST 3006   Comparative Perspectives on Gender and Work
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course will use comparative perspectives to explore a range of topics relating to the gendering of work: wage-work, household-based labour, the informal sector, masculinity and femininity in the work place, occupational segregation, employment policies directed at changing the status quo (such as affirmative action, pay equity), and unionization. The context will be the changing global political economy and its consequences for the strategies of different groups (such as nation states, but also trade unions, feminist groups and employer groups).
