Egalitarian Workplaces: Organizational Pattern of Gender Wage Inequality in High Income Countries by Dr. Eunmi Mun

On October 11, 2024, WGGP hosted an Affiliate Lecture by Dr. Eunmi Mun on "Egalitarian Workplaces: Organizational Pattern of Gender Wage Inequality in High Income Countries". Scholars of gender wage inequality have long shown that workplaces play a significant role in shaping the gender gap, but we know little about what kind of workplaces treat women and men equally and how many workplaces are gender-egalitarian. In this talk, Dr. Mun shares findings from international collaborative research that compares the distribution of gender-(in)egalitarian workplaces across 12 high-income countries and investigates whether and how workplaces change to pay women and men more equally. Based on this research, she discusses possible paths toward egalitarian workplaces.
