Making and Breaking Gender Inequalities in Work

Edited by Mia Rönnmar and Susan Hayter

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This timely book expertly analyses the persistence of gender inequalities in work. Despite the progress made through frameworks regulating work and employment relations, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed and exacerbated gender divides in labour markets. The authors present innovative ways to promote gender equality in a variety of industrial relations systems, welfare state models and labour market sectors.
