Under the terms of this bargain a standard employment relationship was established where in male breadwinners were granted generous benefits at relatively secure jobs in exchange for long working hours. Yet this arrangement relies on the unpaid reproductive labor of women within the family, and, increasingly, pushes women's waged work into nonstandard jobs. Such institutionalized relationships, formerly the engines of growth and stability, now drag economic expansion and employment security. Gottfried's groundbreaking research shows us that gendering institutional analysis is a key to deciphering the enigma of Japanese capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heidi Gottfried\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1608466442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608466443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Haymarket Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Heidi Gottfried","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442436354303,"sku":"9781608466443","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_543c0b03-e2c2-4d96-a0f2-0a847a6c0e7e.jpg?v=1777197403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-reproductive-bargain-heidi-gottfried-9781608466443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
