Review:
tner /f Frances /i Cornwall
"Hutner looks beyond equal pay for equal work' to the much larger issue of equal pay for equal worth, ' which some economists feel is the key to the amelioration of the inferior economic status of working women. After discussing the difficulties inherent in defining comparable worth' and the ancillary problems of job evaluation and rating, the author gives a historical overview of antidiscrimination legislation and comparable worth in Europe, Australia, and Canada, as well as in the US. The body of this book is a detailed description of four recent American comparable worth cases, developed principally through interviews with the participants. The final chapter presents the state of comparable worth in 1985. The real-world viewpoint of this book complements the theoretical analyses and examinations of the difficulties and specific details involved in the implementation of comparable worth. . . . Recommended for academic libraries that support courses and research in labor economics and women's studies."-Choice
