  • Network resources and the gender wage gap

    Open AccessRoza Meuleman, Margriet Van Hek et al.ARTICLEEuropean Societies2026

    This study examines gender differences in career, economic, and cultural network resources as possible explanations for the gender wage gap (capital differences) – resulting from (the interplay between) structural causes, gendered expectations and gender homophily. Additionally, it considers potential gender differences in wage returns to these social network resources (return differences). Doing so, this study sheds light on the importance of th…

  • Understanding public support for workplace diversity and antidiscrimination policies in Europe

    Open AccessL Blommaert, M CoendersARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2024Cited by: 2References: 30

    Societal processes and public opinion can affect whether employers take action and which policy measures they choose to boost diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion, and to reduce discrimination in the workplace. Yet, public opinion regarding workplace diversity initiatives (other than affirmative action) has so far received little scholarly attention, especially in Europe. Consequently, we have very little evidence about how the general pu…

  • The gender gap in job authority

    Open AccessL Blommaert, Roza Meuleman et al.ARTICLEActa Sociologica2020Cited by: 11References: 53

    Women generally have less job authority than men. Previous research has shown that human capital, family features and contextual factors cannot fully explain this gender authority gap. Another popular explanation holds that women's career opportunities are limited because their social networks comprise less beneficial contacts and resources than men's. Yet, the role of social networks has received little attention in empirical research seeking to…

    L Blommaert, Tanja Van Der Lippe et al.ARTICLEMens & Maatschappij2019

    Women in positions of authority Description and explanation of developments in the Netherlands from 1985 to 2008 Women still have limited access to positions of authority in the workplace. Although the slow progress in this regard is much debated, research shedding light on trends in women’s workplace authority remains scarce, particularly outside the US. Moreover, rigorous empirical tests of which processes drive developments in women’s access t…

    L Blommaert, M Coenders et al.ARTICLESocial Forces2014

Two phases of recruitment procedures are examined: employers' decisions to (1) view applicants' complete rsums after seeing short profiles and (2) contact applicants. The experiment covers both male and female app…
