Focusing on the advanced Pacific Rim economies of the US, Japan, and South Korea, the 16 contributions to this volume study whether changing state policies and market practices are improving housing conditions and the circumstances of women. Dymski (economics, U. of California, Riverside) and Isenberg (economics, Drew U., Madison, NJ) introduce the contextual micro- and macro-structural aspects of globalization. Papers on the US consider such factors as the housing finance system and neoliberal housing policy. Japan's housing affordability issues include financial instability and household structure destabilization. Korean housing has lagged behind other government priorities. Lastly, papers overview strategies for broadening housing options for changing demographics, and the commonalities of labor's and women's struggles. Includes supporting data tables and figures.
