Product Description The transformations that are now taking place in women's lives are of great interest to social scientists and policy makers, yet we know very little about the impact of this social change over time. This new study uses longitudinal data information gathered over a considerable period of time to provide new insights into the changing dynamics of lives of women today. In particular, it explores the potential of longitudinal or life course analysis as a powerful tool for appreciating the gender dimension of social life. The contributors view the data from a policy perspective and use comparative analysis from Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Japan to expand our understanding of women's life courses in relation to both men and women and the system of inequality. Review "With all the data and insight that is crammed into this surprisingly slim volume, I am sure it will become a staple feature on many a student social scientists' reading list for years to come." SRA News"... a testament to how a dynamic approach can aid researchers in unravelling the complex interactions between socioeconomic factors and gendered outcomes across historical time and individual lives." European Sociological Review Review "... an impressive book that brings gender into a central position within longitudinal studies. The methodologically innovative collection of essays is essential reading for the interpretation of current trends in a gender perspective and an invitation to use longitudinal research as a basis for a better understanding of social change."
