Women’s Employment or Return to “Family Values” in Central-Eastern Europe
Author(s)Lobodzinska, Barbara
AbstractUnder socialism, as under capitalism, women often worked two shifts: one on a job, the other at home. However, under socialism, the expectation that women would work in a paid job was much higher and many economic institutions were organized around that expectation. Now that those institutions are being taken apart, women are reevaluating the rewards to working outside of their family responsibilities, and the realistic options for getting good jobs in a volatile economy.
