In the new knowledge-based economy, information technology (IT) has become a major field of employment. However, the fast pace of technological innovation, globalization, and the volatility of the stock market have made IT an increasingly risky business. Unfortunately, some employees bear more of the burden of that risk than others.Age, Gender, and Work: Small Information Technology Firms in the New Economy examines how women and older workers in small IT companies are disproportionately vulnerable to their industry's economic uncertainty. Drawing on original survey and interview data from Canada, the United States, Australia, and England, the authors ask how gender and age affect work and workplace culture in a field dominated by young male employees.A fresh look at how paid work intersects with age and gender, this volume brings a unique empirical and theoretical perspective to the literature on inequality.
