- Title
Agricultural Restructuring and the Spatial Dynamics of U.S. Women's Employment in the 1970s.
- Authors
Padavic, Irene
- Abstract
The spatial rearrangement of women agricultural workers' employment across 380 labor market areas is examined during the period of agricultural transformation in the 1970s. Labor market maps of women's employment changes show regional declines and increases in accord with the dynamics of agricultural industrialization. Case studies selected from the maps demonstrate the gender-specific and locality-specific ramifications of these transformations.
