Abstract
This collection of contributions deals with different aspects of women condition and of women’s relationship with the labour market. It focuses the attention on the process of feminization of the educational system and of the labour market, but also on the persistence of strong inequalities based on gender. It clarifies why enterprises and organizations can be described as “gendered institutions” that assign different roles and opportunities to men and women, notwithstanding a widespread rhetoric about women’s quality. Finally, a special attention is devoted to the feminization of international migrations, and to the new international division of reproductive work.
