Research Design: Strategies and Choices in Design of Social Research (Contemporary Social Research Series)

This important study presents the results of the first analysis of labor market data from Britain's new SARs, drawing comparisons with research results for the USA and for Western European countries. The author fully examines several relevant phenomena, such as: a new and distinctive category of integrated occupations, employing men and women equally in highly qualified work; the diversification of part-time work; the emergence of a new category of marginal jobs; and the expansion of student jobs. This book also provides an excellent introductory guide for future SAR users.

Work-Lifestyle Choices in the 21st Century: Preference Theory

In this pioneering work, Catherine Hakim presents the "Preference Theory," a new, multi-disciplinary philosophy for explaining and predicting current and future patterns for women choosing between family work and outside employment. It is the first theory developed specifically to explain women's behavior and choices, constituting a major break from male-oriented theorizing in sociology and economics. In fact, this text identifies five major historical changes that are collectively producing a new scenario for women in prosperous, 21st century societies.

Honey Money

Honey Money shows how men and women can do better in the workplace and life by boosting their attractiveness. Why are some people a success at everything? Why do doors open for them wherever they go? The answer, Catherine Hakim shows, is the power of erotic capital: a magic combination of attractiveness and charisma that is at the heart of how we work, live and conduct our relationships. She reveals why erotic capital is just as influential as how rich, clever or well-connected you are in life - often more so. And how reading this book can help you boost your potential. 'Should be read out to young girls because it states that you can be a feminist, you can be strong and independent and clever, and you can wear a nice frock and high heels while you do this' Bryony Gordon, Daily Telegraph

Research Design: Succesful Designs for Social Economics Research (Social Research Today)

Providing a practical overview for graduates and professional researchers, this book highlights the central issues involved in the design of medium to large scale social and economic research. Covering both theoretical and policy research Hakim sets out the key features, strengths and limitations of eight main types of study, with illustrations from real life research of the kinds of questions each can best be used to answer. This book also offers a more general pragmatic discussion of strategies for choosing between one design and another, and on how different types of study can be successfully combined in wider ranging research programmes. In this expanded second edition the author has added new material on areas of contemporary significance across the social and economic sciences. New features to this edition are:* a chapter on cross-national comparative studies* more examples throughout the text of comparative research both within Europe and across modern societies* discussions of student theses, advocacy research, selection effects and collaboration.

Covering both theoretical and policy research, this practical overview of the central issues involved in the design of social and economic research includes illustrations from real-life research with many updates on the previous edition.

In 2010, pioneering sociologist Catherine Hakim shocked the world with a provocative new theory: In addition to the three recognized personal assets (economic, cultural, and social capital), each individual has a fourth asset—erotic capital—that he or she can, and should, use to advance within society.
 In this bold and controversial book, Hakim explores the applications and significance of erotic capital, challenging the disapproval meted out to women and men who use sex appeal to get ahead in life. Social scientists have paid little serious attention to these modes of personal empowerment, despite overwhelming evidence of their importance. In Erotic Capital, Hakim marshals a trove of research to show that rather than degrading those who employ it, erotic capital represents a powerful and potentially equalizing tool—one that we scorn only to our own detriment.
