This book examines the problem in-depth using case-study investigations in Japanese workplaces, and reveals the extent of the inequality. It shows how many part-time workers, most of whom are women, are concentrated in low paid, low skilled, poorly unionised service sector jobs. Part-time workers in Japan work hours equivalent to, or greater than, full-time workers, but receive lower financial and welfare benefits than their full-time colleagues. Overall, the book demonstrates that the way part-time work is constructed in Japan reinforces and institutionalises the sexual division of labour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51934933385504,"sku":"NEW0415546303","price":79.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/womens-employment-in-japan-asaa-women-in-asia-series-0415546303","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
