Routledge - Gender and Labour in New Times - Academic Book

Gender and Labour in New Times by Routledge examines the changing gender order within post-Fordist capitalism. This academic text focuses on the specific types of labour demanded from many women in the modern era. It provides a detailed map of these demands and how they connect to complex processes of value creation. The book explores how financialization, calls for work-readiness, and new modes of economic calculation are reshaping both labour and daily life. Readers will find analysis on how processes of economization and emergent regulatory strategies are reconfiguring the workforce. By examining these shifts, the contributors identify how these economic changes are summoning new forms of women's work in a post-Fordist landscape. This is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of gender, economics, and sociology.
