First published in 1995. Social Divisions uses a case-study approach to explore the implications of economic decline for social relations, and uncovers the mechanisms by which individuals become vulnerable to job loss and unemployment. It examines the impact of economic change on gender roles and relations, on the structure of work and on the employment prospects for both men and women. This revealing study will be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of social change and inequality, gender relations and social policy. It will also be of interest to policy makers and practitioners in related fields.
