Title: Working your way to the bottom
Description: Poverty is increasing throughout the world. Increasing numbers of the world's poor are women. For the 19902, when (according to the International Labor Organization in Geneva) 90% of the unpaid labor of the world is done by women, Hilda Scott produces startling evidence to show that the position of women is deteriorating and will continue to do so. She looks at the facts on job segregation, pay and conditions, and assesses the effects of technology, showing how women the world over are literally working their way into poverty. She proposes a way of looking at women's poverty that will give us a new approach to poverty in general. -- Back cover.
