Gender, Time, and Reduced Work: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Gender, Time, and Reduced Work" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book compares and analyzes different forms of reduced work: conventional part-time employment, temporary employment, job sharing, and work sharing. Through interviews, workers reveal their experiences with reduced work, particularly the extent to which they control their work schedules, how they use their time off, and whether they feel that reduced work improves or diminishes their quality of life. Negrey challenges the notions that reduced work is homogenous, and that it is uniformly positive (or negative) in its consequences for workers. She concludes that reduced work is sex-segregated in ways similar to full-time work, and, as it currently exists, reinforces unequal gender relations rather than contests them.
