The Economics of Women, Men, and Work is the most current and comprehensive source available for research, data, and analysis on women, gender, and economics. Blau, Ferber, and Winkler are widely known for their research and contributions on the study of the economics of gender. The 7th edition includes new topics and discussions in many areas, including a new section examining why the engine of growth in women's labor force participation has stalled (Chapter 6); a section on the role of gender differences in psychological attributes (attitudes towards negotiation, competition, and risk, and personality traits) in explaining the gender difference in earnings (Chapter 9); a consideration of corporate board quotas for women (Chapter 12); and a discussion of the relationship between women's status, globalization, and economic development (Chapter 17).
