Summary
Sonja Avlijaš: Women and Work
Toward a Political Economy of Transition
The special value of Sonja Avlijaš's book "Women and Work. Toward a Political Economy of Transition" lies in the effort to create a comprehensive theoretical framework that integrates a considerable number of factors that could affect the work activity of women. The author shows that she has an excellent knowledge of a large number of theories that she shapes and adapts to the circumstances in which former socialist economies function. This contextualization is very important in order to understand the different paths of economic development that these countries have chosen, which have led to different levels of women's work engagement. By successfully combining quantitative and qualitative analysis, the author managed to create a work that will be an indispensable reference for researchers in the fields of economics and sociology, as well as for public policy makers who strive to increase the activity of women on the labor market.
