Presenting cutting-edge research on gender, work and employment relations, this Research Handbook represents the latest thinking in this dynamic field. A multinational team of academics share their expertise from a broad range of disciplines including employment relations, human resource management, sociology, management, and feminist and organisational studies.
The Research Handbook on Gender, Work and Employment Relations examines perennial workplace gender equality issues such as women’s economic security as well as emerging issues concerning the gig economy, the fourth industrial revolution, and gendered bodies. Chapter contributors place issues in their historical contexts to deepen understanding of the development of workplace gender equality. Ultimately, authors adopt a future-centric focus, emphasising practical developments and initiatives that lie at the heart of how work and employment relations systems are organised, regulated and reproduce gendered workplaces, while opening possibilities for transformative changes towards gender equality.
Academics and students focusing on industrial/employment relations, organisational studies, sociology, human resource management, gender studies and queer studies will find this Research Handbook to be of great benefit. It is also useful for policy makers, activists and employment relations practitioners.

Critical Acclaim
‘This Handbook brings together leading scholars to examine a broad range of issues, including gender pay gaps, the unequal distribution of paid and unpaid care work, violence and harassment and persistent occupational discrimination. It provides a unique insight into the pressing and persistent barriers to gender equality in the workplace and offers insights on how they might be tackled across different contexts.’

‘This book provides the intellectual resources needed by those challenging the backlash against many decades of progress in the workplace. Using examples from around the world, it cleverly analyses where things stand while pointing to what needs to be done in an uncertain future.’
– David Peetz, Professor Emeritus, Laurie Carmichael Distinguished Research Fellow, Centre for Future Work, Australia Institute, Australia
‘This is an excellent Handbook which is indispensable for students, scholars, policy makers and activists in the fields of gender, work and employment relations. The editors and contributors are leading international experts on the issues covered by this Handbook. The contributors to this book explore the fundamental connections between gender and other topics such as unions and pay, sexuality and identity, care and new ways of working. It is highly recommended and a “must read”.’
