Technological change, management strategies, and the development of gender-based job segregation in the labour process
This paper contributes to current debates about gender, work and skill in the service economy, focusing specifically on the case of women’s employment in telephone call centres. The paper asks whether call centre employers are capitalising on women’s ‘feminine’ social skills, and examines the degree to which these skills are being developed, acknowledged and recognised.
