The European Social Fund and the Vocational Training of Unemployed Women: Questions of Gendering and Re-Gendering.
Brine, Jacky
Gender and Education, v4 n1-2 p149-62 1992
Discusses the European Social Fund's influence on unemployed women's vocational training. The United Kingdom prioritizes some training applications (traditional male manual skills) over others (training for advancement in traditional female jobs and crucial new technological skills). Occupational gendering and regendering keeps women in low-status, low-pay, and low-prospect jobs. (RLC)
