Gender and Racial Inequality at Work: Creating International Environmental Regimes

Gender and racial inequalities are produced partly through the allocation of people to jobs based on their ethnicity and gender. Some of this sorting reflects differences in human capital achievement, but much represents discrimination in access to powerful or high skill jobs. It is also the case, that jobs can become gender, and less frequently race, typed. This status composition process can effect how the job comes to be evaluated organizaitonally. This book describes these sorting and evaluation mechanisms, tests them empirically with high quality survey data and makes both theoretical and policy conclusions that will benefit anyone interested in gender or racial inequality, discrimination or organizational policy
