Abstract

Are there any connections between the processes driving contemporary inequalities and enduring gender inequality and, if so, how can they be identified, explained and challenged? In this chapter I review the current state of knowledge and indicate some potential lines of inquiry to illuminate two enduring questions in feminist research with respect to gender and pay inequalities: the persistence of the gender pay gap and gender segregation. I address these questions in the context of rising overall inequality, new forms of employment and new employment forms.
