Abstract

Objectives:

(i) To advance scientific knowledge, both empirically and theoretically, which involves testing and confronting current theories on historical and contemporary forms of gender inequalities, and linking them with other inequalities, particularly class;

(ii) To contribute to a framework aimed at analyzing, understanding, and explaining the inequalities above, especially those related to economic, political, cultural, and symbolic factors, in order to map their complex interconnections;

(iii) To conduct empirical studies based on document analysis, surveys, and interviews about forms of unequal gender treatment in the workplace and in family/private life, investigating:

a) Phenomena of discrimination and segmentation in labor markets by gender, and

b) In marital relationships, divorce processes, and the regulation of parental authority.
