Spatial disparities across labour markets

Henry G. Overman, Xiaowei Xu · 1 Jan 2024

Abstract We consider disparities across local labour markets in Great Britain. Disparities in wages and employment rates are large and persistent, although smaller than 20 years ago. These disparities largely reflect the concentration of high-skilled workers, who would have better labour market outcomes wherever they live. This concentration is driven by differences in the demand…

Race and ethnic inequalities

Heidi Safia Mirza, Ross Warwick · 1 Jan 2024

Abstract This article considers inequalities across racial and ethnic groups in the UK and finds that there is no single story of advantage or disadvantage.

Continuity and…

We find that negative shocks adversely affect self-esteem in turn leading to…

Women and men at work

Alison Andrew, Oriana Bandiera, Mónica Costa Dias et al. · 1 Jan 2024

Abstract We explore gender inequalities in paid and unpaid work with a focus on the UK. The average working-age woman in the UK earned 40% less than her male counterpart in 2019; sizeable gender gaps in participation, hours worked and hourly wages all contribute to this gap. We explore how these patterns have changed over…
