Routledge Women's Career Development Throughout the Lifespan - International

Women's Career Development Throughout the Lifespan explores career patterns and professional growth across generations through an international perspective. This Routledge publication brings together contributions from academic researchers and voices of older women who participated in an international research investigation. The book addresses how women's career trajectories continue to reflect structural labour market disadvantage despite equal employment legislation in many countries. Grounded in multidisciplinary empirical studies, it draws on research and discussion from sociology, business, industrial, organisational and vocational psychology, and career guidance. This unique collection offers insights into the complex relationship between gender, employment, and lifelong career development across different cultural contexts.
