The growth of female employment in Brazilian manufacturing industry in the 1970s
研究了1970年代巴西制造业女性就业快速增长的原因，发现男性劳动力短缺是最有力的解释，并讨论了促使女性进入工业工作的因素及就业女性类型。
Female employment grew very rapidly in Brazilian manufacturing industry in the 1970s. Contrary to the predictions of some writers, women have not been marginalised from the industrial labour force as a result of dependent development. Among various hypotheses advanced in the literature to explain the sharp rise in female employment, the scarcity of male labour resulting from rapid economic growth is found to be the most convincing. This hypothesis is supplemented by a discussion of both the factors which made large numbers of women available for industrial work and the types of women that found employment in industry in the decade.
