Product Description
In the minds of most people, the home has stood apart from the world of work. Bringing the factory or office into the home challenges this division. From the 1870s, when New York cigarmakers attempted to end tenement competition, to New Deal prohibitions in the 1930s, gender ideologies shaped the battle over homework. But by the 1980s, the middle-class mother at the keyboard replaced the victimized immigrant as the symbol of homework. Home to Work restores the voices of homeworking women to the century-long debate over their labor. The book also provides a historical context to the Reaganite lifting of New Deal bans. Where once men’s right to contract precluded regulation, now women’s right to employment undermined prohibition. Whether empowerment comes from rights to homework or rights as workers depends on whether homeworkers become visible as workers who happen to mother.

Welfare States and Working Mothers: The Scandinavian Experience http://workathomebookstore.com/welfare-states-and-working-mothers-the-scandinavian-experience/ http://workathomebookstore.com/welfare-states-and-working-mothers-the-scandinavian-experience/#comments Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:14:14 +0000 Blogmaster http://workathomebookstore.com/welfare-states-and-working-mothers-the-scandinavian-experience/

Product Description
What is the relationship between women and the welfare state? How do women reconcile paid work and family responsibilities? These questions are of central political concern to nearly all Western industrialised countries and have provoked considerable scholarly disagreement. In this timely book, Dr Arnlaug Leira presents both a theoretical and an empirical analysis of the relationship between women’s lives, employment practices and childcare provision. Focusing upon the social construction of motherhood in Scandinavia, Arnlaug Leira shows how, contrary to common perceptions, there is no shared model of welfare policies and women’s work. Instead, the position in Norway is significantly different from that in Sweden and Denmark. The author then presents an ethnographic analysis of the lives of working mothers in Norway. She details the complexity of the strategies by which women cope and support one another in combined earning and childcare in a situation where state provision is limited. Welfare States and Working Mothers will be widely read by students and specialists of sociology, social policy and administration, political science and women’s studies. It will also be of interest to policy makers, social workers, teachers and nursery-school workers.

Working Mothers and the Welfare State: Religion and the Politics of Work-Family Policies in Western Europe and the United States http://workathomebookstore.com/working-mothers-and-the-welfare-state-religion-and-the-politics-of-work-family-policies-in-western-europe-and-the-united-states/ http://workathomebookstore.com/working-mothers-and-the-welfare-state-religion-and-the-politics-of-work-family-policies-in-western-europe-and-the-united-states/#comments Thu, 18 Mar 2010 08:17:49 +0000 Blogmaster http://workathomebookstore.com/working-mothers-and-the-welfare-state-religion-and-the-politics-of-work-family-policies-in-western-europe-and-the-united-states/

Product Description

While the extent of female participation in the labor force varies across western countries, most have experienced a substantial change in women’s attachment to the world of paid work. Everywhere, this trend has raised two central questions related to the children of working mothers: Should mothers of young children work outside the home at all? And if so, who bears responsibility for assuring the care and well-being of their children? Comparing the various policy choices made across France, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United States, the book shows that there are differences in the extent to which societies accept both the idea of working mothers and the role of the state in shaping gender roles and children’s lives.

Morgan employs a comparative historical approach that focuses on three time periods: the late nineteenth century, the era of rapid welfare state expansion from 1945 to 1975, and the period of seeming welfare state stagnation since the mid-1970s. The author shows how, starting in the nineteenth century, religion influenced political development in the four countries the book studies. Historic patterns of church-state relations and conflicts over religion affected ideologies about gender roles and the family, as well as the way religious forces would be incorporated into political life. These forces shaped welfare policy between 1945 and 1975, a critical time for social policy expansion. During this period, socially conservative forces in countries such as the Netherlands and the United States blocked policies that would encourage mothers to work, while the weakness of these forces enabled such policies in both Sweden and France. Morgan concludes that these policy decisions have had an enduring impact, in part because the expansion of the welfare state has been curtailed since the 1970s.

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Affiliate Marketing Services in the United States http://workathomebookstore.com/the-2009-2014-outlook-for-affiliate-marketing-services-in-the-united-states/ http://workathomebookstore.com/the-2009-2014-outlook-for-affiliate-marketing-services-in-the-united-states/#comments Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:26:14 +0000 Blogmaster http://workathomebookstore.com/the-2009-2014-outlook-for-affiliate-marketing-services-in-the-united-states/

Product Description
This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for affiliate marketing services across the states and cities of the United States. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 12,900 cities in the United States. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it’s state and of the United States is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state and city, latent demand estimates are created for affiliate marketing services. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the cities in the United States). This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the P.I.E., for affiliate marketing services in the United States. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided and concentrated across the cities and regional markets of the United States. For each state, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time. In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on strategic planning at graduate schools of business.
