abstract: 'In this paper we examine the relationships between class and gender in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the context of current debates about economic change in Greater London.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is a common contention of the global city thesis that new patterns of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality and class polarisation are apparent as the expansion of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
high-status employment brings in its wake rising employment in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low-status, poorly paid `servicing'' occupations. Whereas urban theorists
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tend to ignore gender divisions, feminist scholars have argued that new
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
class and income inequalities are opening up between women as growing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
numbers of highly credentialised women enter full-time, permanent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment and others are restricted to casualised, low-paid work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, it is also argued that working women''s interests coincide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
because of their continued responsibility for domestic obligations and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
still-evident gender discrimination in the labour market. In this paper
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we counterpose these debates, assessing the consequences for income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality, for patterns of childcare and for work-life balance policies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of rising rates of labour-market participation among women in Greater
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
London. We conclude by outlining a new research agenda.'
