Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper addresses the following question: What explains patterns of gender economic inequality in advanced-industrial societies? The thesis advanced here, derived from a resource structuralism framework, highlights several factors: a gendered division of labor, the commodification of �women�s work�, the constraints of social reproduction, the decline and devaluation of capital resources, and the gendered nature of welfare state policies. The paper explores these dimensions through a combination of a theoretical discussion and presentation of cross-national research, with particular attention to the Canadian situation. The paper has three main sections: 1) a discussion of resource structuralism as an explanatory framework; 2) an in-depth discussion of explanatory factors derived from the theory; and 3) summary remarks about the social and policy implications of the theory.
