英国性别工资差距的大小和来源已经得到了很好的研究。妇女的就业地位通常较低，而且她们在承担照料责任时，职业生涯减少且不连续，这两个因素结合在一起，严重损害了她们赚取体面工资的能力。就业模式中的这种显著性别差异也造成了财富水平上的巨大性别差距，然而尽管如此，人们对资产的性别差异的重视程度低于对收入和收入方面的性别差异的重视程度。因此，要拉出来的性别弱势劳动力市场的这些多方面的影响，本文探讨了英国在20世纪90年代中期的工资和资产不平等的程度。对家庭资源调查的分析表明，妇女的收入仍然低于男子，即使她们更多地进入劳动力市场，在工作生活中建立储蓄安全网和退休后获得良好收入的机会也较少。在未来的英国，个人将越来越依赖私人养老金而不是国家最低养老金，即使妇女继续提高参与水平，她们在老年时面临的贫困也将持续下去。
The size and source of the gender wage gap in Britain has been well researched. Women's typically lower status employment and their reduced, discontinuous career profiles when they have caring responsibilities have combined seriously to damage their ability to earn a decent wage. Such marked gender differences in employment patterns produce a substantial gender gap in levels of wealth too, yet despite this there has been less attention paid to the gendering of assets than there has to gender differentials in earnings and income. So to pull out these multi-dimensional effects of a gender disadvantaged labour market, this article explores the extent of wage and assets inequality in Britain in the mid 1990s. Analysis of the Family Resources Survey shows that women continue to have lower incomes than men even with their increased entry to the labour market, and have fewer chances to build up a safety net of savings in their working lives and a good income for their retirement. It would seem that in a future Britain where individuals will increasingly depend on private pensions rather than a state minimum, even if women continue to increase their participation levels, the poverty they face in old age will persist.
