What People are Saying About This
This important study on inequalities in the workplace adds complexity and depth to our understanding of the intersections of age and gender. The typology of gender regimes is interesting and will form a useful starting point for further research in the field, in differing sectoral and national contexts. It deserves a wide readership.
