โœฆ Synopsis

The present study analyses the problem of working time with respect to gender equality. It examines the possibility of a different working time politics, which should take women's reproductive work into account. Three aspects are discussed within this framework. Time in general, as well as working time in particular are elaborated in conjunction with value and economic shifts. Time with its structures and components are shown in a gender-specific perspective, that is, in terms of the roles and needs of women. Finally, suggestions toward a more womensensitive, global politics on working time are proposed.
