The author interviewed 60 women ages 18-24, who were working as babysitters or in the retail and service sectors, to examine their lived experiences of gender inequality. The author demonstrates when gender inequality emerges in early employment, identifies factors that contribute to gender inequality, points to mechanisms that reinforce these gender inequalities in young women’s everyday lives, and shows how these early inequalities are translated into gender inequality in the adult workforce.
