Book Description:


Women and Industrialization in Asia examines the common views regarding women in the Asian labor market and how these have been changing with Asian development and industrialization. Drawing on labor force survey data from across the continent, the book analyzes how women’s participation, employment patterns and relative pay have changed over time and in the course of industrialization. It also examines labor market institutions, the progress of women from the light export industries into white collar occupations and how women’s pay has risen relative to men’s in many Asian countries.
