abstract: 'This paper, which follows the emergence of the salmon industry in the

  1990s in Chiloe, Chile, demonstrates that factors restricting women''s

  participation in labor force and wage differences between women and men

  are related to the gender systems operating in Chiloe. Results indicate

  that these systems reflect the territory''s demographic and agrarian

  history and that local gender systems have a positive influence on

  women''s participation in the labor market, though this is not

  accompanied by decreased salary discrimination in the salmon industry.

  The implication is that territory-specific and gender factors must be

  considered in national employment policies. (C) 2014 Published by
