abstract: 'The size and source of the gender wage gap in Britain has been well
|
|
|
|
researched. Women''s typically lower status employment and their reduced,
|
|
|
|
discontinuous career profiles when they have caring responsibilities
|
|
|
|
have combined seriously to damage their ability to earn a decent wage.
|
|
|
|
Such marked gender differences in employment patterns produce a
|
|
|
|
substantial gender gap in levels of wealth too, yet despite this there
|
|
|
|
has been less attention paid to the gendering of assets than there has
|
|
|
|
to gender differentials in earnings and income. So to pull out these
|
|
|
|
multi-dimensional effects of a gender disadvantaged labour market, this
|
|
|
|
article explores the extent of wage and assets inequality in Britain in
|
|
|
|
the mid 1990s. Analysis of the Family Resources Survey shows that women
|
|
|
|
continue to have lower incomes than men even with their increased entry
|
|
|
|
to the labour market, and have fewer chances to build up a safety net of
|
|
|
|
savings in their working lives and a good income for their retirement.
|
|
|
|
It would seem that in a future Britain where individuals will
|
|
|
|
increasingly depend on private pensions rather than a state minimum,
|
|
|
|
even if women continue to increase their participation levels, the
|
|
|
|
poverty they face in old age will persist.'
