Janeen Baxter's Books

This far-reaching volume reasserts the significance of class and gender for understanding socioeconomic conditions. The contributors urge a nuanced approach that focuses on the specific institutional contexts of class-gender relations in various advanced industrial nations.

Overview of research and analysis of statistics on housework and the domestic division of labour in Australian households. Explains the findings of pattern gender divisions in domestic labour and explores the historical emergence of housework, revealing links between the development of capitalism and changes in family ideology. Includes references and an index. The author is a research fellow in the sociology program of the division of demography and sociology, research school of social sciences, at the Australian National University, Canberra.

Explores the links betwen the gender division of labour in the home and in the paid workforce. From a recent national survey of over a thousand women and men, the authors conclude that most domestic labour is still carried out by women. They argue for improvements in the pay and conditions of part-time paid work.
