The Oxfam briefing paper looks into work and its relation to wealth. Specifically, the paper focuses on if/how global economy is conducive to accumulation of wealth and how this reflects on workers. Gender divide is a specific concern of the paper that points to exploitation of gender inequalities for/in the current set up. Women consistently earn less than men and are usually in the lowest paid and least secure forms of work. At current rates of change, the gender gap in pay and employment opportunities between women and men will take 217 years to close.
