How do women cope with young children and the demands of paid work in Eastern and Western countries? How much help do they get from their partners, their employers, and the state? How do these patterns vary within and between East and West? Why is gender inequality least in urban China while roles remain traditional in Japan? How much have gender roles changed in the West and why is the USA more advanced than Britain in this respect? These are among the central questions explored in Women's Work in East and West, a unique study of the family and work lives of women in urban China, Japan, the USA and Britain. The problem of coping with children and paid employment is one that troubles women around the world, and this volume studies the varying ways in which they manage this phase of their lives. It demonstrates how historical, cultural, organizational, and political factors shape the environment in which parents attempt to combine employment with domestic roles. --considers historical, cultural, organizational, and political factors in each society that have led to the differing roles of women at work and at home --presents both theory and the results of survey research.
