Abstract
ABSTRACT Intersectional income inequalities based on social class and gender remain under-researched. This paper examines the development of the gender pay gap, the class pay gap, and the intersectional gender-class pay gap over time. Drawing on a longitudinal survey of the first ten career years of business school graduates, our results show that both social class origin and gender lead to income disparities that increase over time. In addition, results of the intersectional gender-class pay gap analyses provide a nuanced picture of these growing income inequalities as we find evidence for a growing class pay gap among men but not among women. This indicates that while men benefit more from higher-class backgrounds than women, effects of lower-class backgrounds are less severe for women than for men. Thereby, our findings underscore the importance of intersectional analyses in career studies.
