NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT
The contribution of dynamic research to the study of women's life courses
Edited by Elisabetta Ruspini, Department of Sociology and Social Research, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy and Angela Dale, Faculty of Economic and Social Studies, University of Manchester
This study uses longitudinal data to provide new insights into the changing dynamics of women's life courses today. In particular, it explores the potential of longitudinal analysis as a powerful tool for appreciating the gender dimension of social change. The contributors view the data from a policy perspective and use comparative analysis from Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Japan to expand our understanding of women's life courses and systems of inequality.
Academics, students and researchers in sociology, gender studies, social research, public and social policy will find this book an invaluable
resource.
