Description:

Why do men earn more than women, for doing the same job? Why are more high–powered positions held by men? Do better welfare policies (such as maternity leave) benefit women or the economy? Was the financial crisis really caused by hyper–macho banking practices, and who has suffered most from the crisis?These social questions – getting to the heart of why the world of work and money is different for men and women – are explored in this book.
