Work Changes Gender

Changes in the work sphere and the "vanishing" of standard work may lead to the end of the old bread-winner type of masculinity. But where "new men" try to balance work and life or show caring activities, they face obstacles - i.e. in organisations or on playgrounds. The book explains the ongoing changes in detail, shows ways how men deal with them and gives recommendations how to achieve gender equality by including a perspective on men.
