The Bergmann, Barbara R. creator text xx New York : Palgrave Macmillan , 2005 9999 Second edition. monographic und viii, 255 p. ; 24 cm. The Economic Emergence of Women examines the transformation of women's economic roles in modern society, arguing that the movement toward gender equality has been driven primarily by economic changes rather than ideological shifts. Barbara R. Bergmann analyzes the expansion of women's participation in paid employment, the persistence of occupational segregation, wage disparities, and workplace discrimination. She also explores the economics of marriage, childcare, housework, and poverty, proposing policy reforms such as equal employment opportunities, childcare support, and pay equity to advance women's economic independence. This revised edition updates the analysis to reflect changing labor markets and contemporary public policy debates. / Barbara R. Bergmann.
