This multidisciplinary international Research Handbook on Inequalities and Work, examining disparities within contemporary working life, comes at a critical juncture of global socio-historical change. As the world reels from the impact of economic insecurity, migration, wars, the pandemic, the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements, the trans liberation fight, the climate crisis and the rise of Artificial Intelligence, systemic inequalities and their impacts have been thrust into the limelight, alongside the ceaseless struggle for social justice.This Research Handbook sees an impressive array of experts from the Global North and South explore inequality at work from many differing conceptual and methodological perspectives and in multiple national contexts. The chapters showcase cutting-edge research on a highly diverse range of global working environments. The authors consider the interrelated and intersectional influences of identity, social class, sex, gender, race, ethnicity, disability and belief in relation to cultures, organisations, occupations, resistance and regulation and provide unique insights into the complex nature of inequalities in workplaces, informed by contexts and power relations.This Research Handbook will be essential reading for students, academics and researchers interested in organizational behaviour, employment relations, labour policy, human resource management, public policy and sociology. Far-reaching in its scope, it will also prove invaluable for professionals and policymakers looking to improve working conditions across a range of critical areas.

Review

'The Research Handbook on Inequalities and Work offers an impressive overview of recent theoretical evolutions in research on power and difference at work. The contributions push the conversation forward by reconnecting their analyses to deepening economic inequality, environmental degradation, migration flows, colonial legacies, rapid technological change and the precarisation of work. A timely conversation among scholars from all continents. Not to be missed!' -- Patrizia Zanoni, Hasselt University, Belgium'At a time when the need for equality has never been more pressing – or debated – this extraordinary volume documents the global pervasiveness of workplace inequality and how power relationships continue to shape organisational policies, practices and workplace experiences across the globe. This critical and profound assessment is a call for action and a must-read for organisational scholars seeking to understand and dismantle systemic workplace inequalities.' -- Belle Rose Ragins, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, US'The workplace can reproduce income and social inequalities, leading to persistent disparities across individuals and societies. This volume enumerates the different ways in which inequalities are manifested through the labour market, occupations, careers and organisations. It also casts attention on the role of climate change in exacerbating inequalities towards vulnerable populations.' -- Eddy Ng, Queen's University, Canada
