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.
