Women, Welfare And Productivism In East Asia And Europe

by Ruby C. M. Chau e Sam W. K. Yu

132,49€ + 10% CARD

Policy case studies from France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, South Korea, Sweden and the UK, show how welfare could support people’s caring and working lives. This book forms a prescient examination of how productivist thinking underpins regimes and impacts women’s welfare, care and work in both the East and West.
