The Hidden Debate: The Truth Revealed about the Battle Over Affirmative Action in South Africa and the United States
ISBN: 9780415976916 / Angielski / Twarda / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Squaring Up: Policy Strategies to Raise Women's Incomes in the United States
ISBN: 9780472067473 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite three decades of progress, American women's incomes still average just over half of those of men. This income gap is both a cause and a symptom of gender inequity. The gap means that women are only half as able as men to support themselves and their families, are too often mired in poverty, and have less power than men do in their families, communities, and governments. In this book, economists present readable, informative, and compelling assessments of several policy strategies capable of bringing down the barriers to economic equality for women and men.
