Women, Men and the Future of Work.
Can women actually have it all, or are they just doing it all? Will today's - and, as importantly, tomorrow's - women end up having none of it?
Despite the number of young women excelling in education and entering the workforce, their long-term prospects have changed very little. Work is undergoing the biggest change since the industrial revolution: we hear a great deal about job flexibility, but for many people conditions at work are becoming tougher than ever. How can we balance the needs of work, family and community in the face of global convulsions in the labour market, a reluctant male populace and archaic attitudes?
As we enter the new millennium, Suzanne Franks examines these questions and asks why they are still officially sidelined as "women's issues" when they should be the subject of urgent political debate.
