Dear Colleagues Apologies for the cross-spamming, but I wanted to share with you the contents of the new special issue I've edited in Social Indicators Research with Tanja van der Lippe from Utrecht University. It brings together colleagues from across Europe and US and disciplines across sociology, social policy, and economics to examine the gendered outcomes of flexible working, what it means to work life balance and gender equality. Finally it examines what need to happen if flexible working is to help reduce gender gaps rather than further traditionalise gender roles.
