Making and Breaking Gender Inequalities in Work

How do we advance a transformative agenda for gender equality? This timely edition analyses the persistence of gender inequalities in work in different labour market settings. It considers frameworks regulating work and employment relations across a variety of industrial relations systems. While noting innovative developments, the volume also addresses the question of why gender inequalities persist despite positive developments in these regulatory frameworks. Edited by Mia Rönnmar and Susan Hayter, the volume includes contributions from several expert contributors. The interdisciplinary approach adopted in the volume provides new insights on how to tackle gender inequalities including through equality law and collective bargaining. 

Illustrating the key issues in the subject, this book is an excellent resource for academic researchers and scholars in the fields of industrial relations, work and employment relations, gender studies and equality, labour and international law. Policymakers and employers’ and workers’ organizations at the national, regional and international levels will also find the analysis informative and enlightening.
