Session Type: Oral
Despite the advances in gender equality that have been witnessed in several countries, gender inequalities in paid and unpaid work persist under the influence of the dominant version of globalisation, the contraction of welfare states and the proliferation of organizational policies that use labour market flexibility in order to decrease the cost of labour. Additionally, the academic debate on the intersection of gender with other axes of social inequality, such as social class, race, age, sexual orientation and disability, has highlighted the reductionism of analytical categories that presume universal subjects and do not capture the diversity of experiences that gender inequality encompasses. This session invites papers that analyse the persistence and renewal of gender inequalities in employment from an intersectional perspective, examine the development of strategies to empower different groups of women and/or discuss the place of gender equality in trade unions’ agenda. The session welcomes theoretical reflections and empirical research on these topics as well as analyses of the results of projects conducted with the aim of empowering women in a globalised world of work.
