The author proposes integrating a gender perspective systematically into studies of learning and work. She notes the gaps in much current literature, which weakens the understanding of phenomena like precarious work, work-family links and socio-economic development. Such oversights also mask trends, such as the growth of women’s paid employment in much of. She proposes the key features for such theoretical integration in the light of globalization.
