Abstract
Social, economic and demographic forces, fuelling new efforts to recruit, retain and develop women in the workforce, are examined. Transnational perspectives and policies such as “parental leave” and “career breaks” are explored, with particular reference to differing attitudes in Sweden, the UK and the US. It is argued that greater concern for helping workers achieve a more satisfactory balance between responsibilities may result in increasing gender equity.
