Abstract	Information regarding women and work learned mainly, but not exclusively, through research and development (R&D) projects sponsored by the Employment and Training Administration's Office of Research and Development (ETA-ORD) is reviewed, and the future directions of policy on women are explored. The first chapter briefly summarizes two schools of thought (dualist and human resources) explaining the inferior position of women workers while data pertaining to the size of the male-female earnings gap and a review of studies offering varying explanations for the gap are contained in chapter 2. Chapters 3 and 4 cover labor market studies, including the National Longitudinal Survey, and chapter 5 reviews projects exploring barriers faced by women seeking employment. Chapter 6 discusses several experimental projects undertaken by ETA to improve the work opportunities of women, including Minority Women's Employment Program (MWEP). Other government activities that affect women at work are discussed in chapters 7 to 9: (1) Manpower programs, including the Work Incentive Program (WIN); and (2) the policies and actions of the U.S. Employment Service, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and occupational licensing authorities. The final chapter makes recommendations for future directions in R&D projects, child care, education/training, outreach employment programs, and organizing efforts. (EM)
