Book Description
This volume examines the nature of married women's participation in the economies of three East Asian countries—Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. In addition to asking what is similar or different about women's economic participation in this region of the world compared to Western societies, the book also asks how women's work patterns vary across the three countries.

Book Description
This book provides a comparative analysis of the social, economic, industrial and migration dynamics that structure women's paid work and unpaid care work experience in the Asia-Pacific region. Each country-focused chapter examines the formal and informal ways in which work and care are managed, the changing institutional landscape, gender relations and fertility concerns, employer and trade union responses and the challenges policy makers face and the consequences of their decisions for working women. By covering the entire region, including Australia and New Zealand, the book highlights the way different national work and care regimes are linked through migration, with wealthier countries looking to their poorer neighbours for alternative sources of labour. In addition, the book contributes to debates about the barriers to women's participation in the workforce, the valuation of unpaid care, the gender wage gap, social protection and labour regulation for migrant workers and gender relations in developing Asia.

Book Description
The main components of "rebalancing" have been identified as transition from public to private sector led growth, domestic-led growth of consumption and investments in place of export-led growth, shifts to green jobs and green enterprises and deeper Asian regional integration. The theme of this report is that such rebalancing must, as a matter of both "smart economics" and social justice, also promote gender equality in the labour market.

Book Description
"Large numbers of women in Asia engage in paid work, in many cases outside the home. Some of them simply need to support their families. Others, particularly educated women, hope to develop rewarding careers. Many of these women also continue to shoulder the home and family responsibilities that social and cultural norms define as their primary concern. In an effort to balance the conflicting demands of these roles, women in various Asian societies are negotiating, contesting and reconfiguring motherhood." -- Back cover.
