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.
