• Earnings Prospects of Black and White Working-Class Women (1976) · Sociology of Work and Occupations · doi

  The study identifies a gap in the literature on the work lives of working-class women. The researchers note that prior studies have not adequately addressed the factors contributing to earnings differences among ethnic groups. The paper highlights the need for further research on the quality of jobs available to minority women.

• Sex Segregation and Salary Structure in Academia (1981) · Sociology of Work and Occupations · doi

  Further research is needed to investigate the relationship between sex composition and salary levels in other contexts. The study suggests that future research should examine the impact of sex composition on salary levels over time. The study highlights the need for more recent multivariate data to compare with the current findings.

• Social Constructions of the Gender Wage Gap among Female Employees in the RMG Industries of Bangladesh (2026) · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · doi

  This research has some drawbacks despite its valuable insights. First, the sample size is limited, and the focus is solely on female workers; thus, the findings may not reflect the perspectives of employers, policymakers, and male workers. This limitation may constrain understanding of the structural and institutional aspects of female pay differences. Therefore, for broader generalisation, additional research with a larger, more diverse sample is suggested. Additionally, the present study employed only qualitative methodology, since the incorporation of quantitative analysis could yield a more comprehensive examination of the topic. 718 Ianna Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, Vol. 8, No. 2 (June 2026).
