The Economics of Gender, Second Edition offers a comprehensive, balanced, and up–to–date introduction to the new work on the differences between women′s and men′s economic opportunities, activities, and rewards.
Although Jacobsen′s primary focus is on contemporary US patterns, she devotes four chapters to cross–societal comparisons. She also takes a close look at the evolution of contemporary patterns over time and the impact on them of race, ethnicity, and class. Throughout, she discusses the pros and cons of various policies, including "comparable worth" and welfare programs.
Many real–life examples and anecdotes enliven the text. Appendices provide additional help for readers who have not had a course in economics and further detail for the economically sophisticated.
Clear, readable, and provocative, the Second Edition of The Economics of Gender will continue to be welcomed as a primary text for the growing number of courses on gender economics. It remains a valuable supplement to courses in labor economics, economic policy, and women′s studies. Finally, academics and policymakers in a wide range of fields will appreciate the book as a crucial reference.
