Abstract

Gender difference constitutes a major rigidity in labour market operation and dynamics – and this justifies and requires further detailed study. Major questions addressed include: What are the levels and changes in vertical and occupational segregation and earnings differences by sex? What is the nature and relative importance of constraints on change? What is the relationship between women’s unpaid work and their work in the paid labour force?
