086 - Regular Session. Economic Sociology. Gender in the Economy
Sat, August 22, 2:30 to 4:10pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session
Abstract
Economic sociology still suffers from a tendency to ignore and underplay gender-related issues and their relationship to economic life, even if efforts to remedy this are taking place and has increasingly been doing so during the last few years. In this session various aspects of the gender inequality in economic life are analyzed, such as wage differences, household work, sexually-related economic oppression, and the unequal situation of women in entrepreneurial couples.
