In recent decades, the world economy has undergone tremendous restructuring with shifts in nature of work, occupational reward structures and match between workers and jobs. These shifts are intricately linked to demographic, social and economic structures of the society and lie at the heart of the policy dilemma affecting both developed and developing world and have given rise to powerful debates. Papers in this session address some of these debates by examining women’s work in the context of global restructuring of work and family life.
