| Description |
This paper begins by briefly examining the major patterns of gender inequality in paid and unpaid work in New Zealand and similar nations. It then looks at a series of possible explanations for these patterns. The main focus of the paper, however, is on the role of the state, and it questions whether, in the light of the theoretical discussion, the state should be regarded primarily as an institution which has perpetuated an unequal division of labour along gender lines, or whether the state (actually or potentially) can improve the position of working women. The paper ends by asking what the most effective strategies might be to reduce gender inequality at work.
