Anita Kon ()

Brazilian Journal of Political Economy, 2002, vol. 22, issue 3, 473-490

Abstract: This article examines some recent discussions about labor division between genders that take place in the field of Political economy. It analyses theoretical approaches that stress the need of a less rigid theory, in its disciplinary boundaries, and reject the concept of Economy as an ahistorical, disembodied entity. It discusses the gender occupational distribution, beginning with a historical point of view about the development of this phenomenon, and observing the impacts of the demand and offer determinants of the labor market, the effects of economic restructuring and causes of wage differences. JEL Classification: J01; J7; J16.
