735 To conclude, the main contribution of this book is the meticulous description and careful analysis of the effect of context, policy, norms, institutions and the economy on the gendered employment mobility patterns of two West European countries. The life-history technique used is important for understanding how individual career patterns and gender differences are shaped in an era of increasing pressures on labour markets and changes in welfare policies. Some of the findings and conclusions are well known but are given additional confirmation by this study; others, such as the individual differences in mobility patterns and the effects of context and policy on them, serve as strong incentives for further research. The main weakness of this book is also its strength: the author found it difficult to detach herself from the format of a doctoral thesis, sometimes making her explanations tedious; while on the other hand, the detailed presentation enables the reader to further delve into problematic issues in life-history analysis and country comparisons.
