Stuck in the Slow Lane: Reconceptualizing the Links between Gender,Transport and Employment

This article draws on primary research undertaken in the North East of England to explore the way in which inequalities in access to transport resources impact on women’s opportunities to enter the public domain of paid work. It advances the idea of spatiality as a social construction and, building on previous studies, it explores the way in which a gender division of transport operating in the home and at work limits women’s access to temporal, financial and personal and geographic travel resources; ultimately constraining women’s mobility and restricting their employment opportunities. Finally, the article will argue that, although some women can achieve ‘masculine’ levels of transport resources, the majority of women are stuck in the slow lane and their mobility deprivation often confines them to the private world of the family, or alternatively, to part‐time, low paid work on the periphery of the labour market. This leads to the conclusion that there is an urgent need to provide women with a range of mobility choices which enhance their access to the labour market and to challenge the socially constructed processes which underpin the discrimination women face when accessing the world of paid employment.     

Do Workplace Gender Transitions Make Gender Trouble?

This article examines what happens when an employee makes the transition from one recognized gender category to another and remains in the same job. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with transmen and transwomen in Texas and California, we illustrate how a new social gender identity is interactionally achieved in these open workplace transitions. While transgender people often are represented as purposefully adopting hyper‐feminine or masculine gender identities post‐transition, we find that our respondents strive to craft alternative femininities and masculinities. However, regardless of their personal gender ideologies, their men and women co‐workers often enlist their transitioning colleague into gender rituals designed to repatriate them into a rigid gender binary. This enlistment limits the political possibilities of making gender trouble in the workplace, as transgender people have little leeway for resistance if they wish to maintain job security and friendly workplace relationships.

新冠疫情下我国人力资源服务效率分析

新型冠状病毒疫情给我国国民经济生产带来巨大影响,国家多措并举稳步推进企业复工复产,人力资源服务发挥着至关重要的作用。运用DEA和Malmquist指数方法分析疫情状态下我国人力资源服务的效率发现:综合效率整体表现良好,部分时间段内投入冗余致使资源浪费以及产出不足影响了服务效率,技术变化对全要素生产率造成较大影响,迁出人口、规模以上企业复工率和疫情环境对服务效率的影响最大。总结此次经验,将有助于完善我国人力资源服务模式、提升信息化水平和推动公共就业服务均等化进程。
