An hour of reflection with Céline Bessière and Sibylle Gollac,
sociologists and authors of Le genre du capital (La Découverte, 2020)

Inequalities between women's and men's careers and salaries are now well recognized and officially combated in the world of work. However, these inequalities are not only to be found in the professional sphere, but also in the private sphere. And while income inequalities are stagnating, wealth inequalities between the sexes have almost doubled in less than twenty years. In their book Le genre du capital (La Découverte, 2020), Céline Bessière and Sibylle Gollac analyze key moments in private life (inheritance, separation, to understand how men's economic power, despite new egalitarian norms, is built up within the family and continues to be exercised within the couple as well as at the head of companies.
