Book Description:
This book examines the intimate link between the micro structures of households and the structures of the world economy at a global level. It seeks to explain differences in wage levels for work of comparable productivity by examining the different structures of households as 'income pooling units.' The authors argue that the boundaries and sources of income of households are molded by the changing patterns of the world economy, but are also modes of defense against its pressures. Empirical data is drawn from eight local regions in three different zones: the United States, Mexico and southern Africa.
