Over Time

Recent archaeological efforts to explain the emergence and persistence of social inequality have been hampered by little information about how wealth was transmitted across generations, and how it may have accumulated or diminished over time. Building on studies that have shown domestic architecture to be an excellent material expression of household wealth, we provide a method for reconstructing the amount of labor invested in house construction among the Hohokam of southern Arizona. We also account for different architectural styles from different time periods. To illustrate the utility of the method for addressing broader social issues, we investigate the relationship among population increases, resource shortages, and wealth differentials at Pueblo Grande—one of the preeminent settlements in the Hohokam region. Inequality at Pueblo Grande was tracked over time and compared to similar results at the Grewe site. High-status households at both sites were distinguished architecturally by larger and, in some instances, more elaborate houses. The proximity of these households to public areas for ceremonial expression further suggests that access to ritual played a key role in creating and maintaining inequality in Hohokam society.

Low Pay

This article examines the theoretical underpinning of living wage campaigns. The article uses evidence, derived from the UK Quarterly Labour Force Survey from 2005 to 2008, to examine the extent to which a living wage will address low pay within the labour force. We highlight the greater incidence of low pay within the private sector and then focus upon the public sector where the living wage demand has had most impact. The article builds upon the results from the Quarterly Labour Force Survey with analysis of the British Household Panel Survey in 2007 in order to examine the impact that the introduction of a living wage, within the public sector, would have in reducing household inequality.

Women's Labor Force Participation

This chapter presents evidence suggesting that the movement of women into the workforce, combined with changing trends in marriage, divorce, and life expectancy, may have contributed to rising household inequality. Over the past four decades, women’s labor force participation has risen, especially in skilled occupations and particularly for mothers. Women’s educational attainment has also risen, facilitating entry into professional careers in record numbers. As more women went to school and work, declining marriage rates, changing selection into marriage, and assortative mating may have contributed to a rise in high dual-income households. On the other hand, high divorce rates and higher life expectancy may have led to more single-female led low-income households. While the empirical evidence is mixed, results are generally consistent with the conclusion that women’s professional progress may have indirectly and unintentionally contributed to rising inequality.
