Why is it so hard to turn girls' success at school into success in the labor market? How does detailed evidence about women's engagement with local labor markets affect the 'preference theory' debate? Why is part-time employment such a popular but economically damaging choice for women? What barriers still limit women's horizons and narrow their aspirations? Using a new and original approach, this illuminating book explores women's employment at the start of the 21st century in the UK. Policy for a Change identifies aspects of the women's labor market situation which remain poorly understood.
