Summary:

This e-book investigates some of the reasons why women and men do not experience the revolutionary forces of new technologies in the same way.The collection of papers here is probably unique in that its focus is not just on paid work but also on the implications of technological change for gender equality in domestic labour.Taken together,the papers show the dynamic interdependence of work undertaken in both the public and private spheres and the role of different forms of new technologies in influencing in equalities in the division of labour between women and men.
