gender and economics
Definition(s)
- Women have always participated in economic activity, across time and space, albeit to varying degrees. However, if one defines participation in the economy as participation in a labor market, where labor is traded for pay, then one of the most striking social changes during the past century has been the large increase in women's participation in the economy.
