This book is packed with data and insights which should be of interest to development researchers and planners alike.... Written primarily by economists, the individual chapters look at how women's labor makret participation, employment patterns, and earnings have changed over time in seven Asian countries--ranging from those such as India and Indonesia, which have a vast informal sector, to those such as Korea and Japan, where there are more women involved in urban-based manufacturing and commerce.... there is more than enough thought-provoking text here to appeal to a fairly wide audience.
