- Gender inequality: Weberianism
- Horizontal segregation
- Refers to the different kind of jobs men and women can hold
- e.g women being stuck in the '5 cs': cleaning, clerical, catering, cashiering and caring
- Vertical segregation
- Refers to the kinds of positions women hold within their job
- e.g many women are employed in primary schooling, however very few women are in top positions there
- Evidence: 67 of FTSE 250 boards are all-male
- Dual labour market theory (Barron & Norris)
- There is a primary market: well-paid jobs, good security and good working conditions
- There is also a secondary market: lower-paid jobs, worse security and often temporary or part-time
- Women are more likely to be situated in the secondary market
- Evaluation
- Burchell & Rubery: division between primary and secondary labour market is too simplistic. Their research revealed at least 5 divisions and not all were gendered
- Horizontal segregation
