Chronologically, it begins in the pre\u2013World War I period, when relatively reliable statistics first became available, and concludes in the mid-1940s with the establishment of the state socialist regime. The research focuses on gender wage differentials\u2014that is, the gap between men\u2019s and women\u2019s wages in industrial employment. Preliminary findings suggest that this gap narrowed significantly over the period. Accordingly, the project addresses the following central research question: how and why did men\u2019s and women\u2019s wages in Bulgarian industry converge between the 1900s and the 1940s?<\/p>\n<p>The first objective of the project is to trace the year-by-year evolution of the gender wage gap in Bulgarian industry from the early twentieth century through the end of World War II, insofar as the available statistics permit. In addition to outlining the overall trajectory of the wage gap and its fluctuations over time, the analysis examines internal variations by disaggregating the data by age, economic sector, and other relevant categories. The second objective is to analyse how socio-economic and political contexts shaped industrial wages in gendered ways. To this end, the project explores factors such as wars, economic crises, technological change, and regime shifts in order to explain observed changes in the gender wage gap.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ivelina Masheva (BG-Swiss Fellowships for Bulgarian Junior Scholars, Oct \u201825 \u2013 Jul \u201826): Women\u2019s Work and (Un)equal pay: The Gender Pay Gap in Bulgarian Industry, 1910s\u20131940s 22 January 2026 (Thursday),&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20278,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cas.bg\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/21027"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cas.bg\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cas.bg\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cas.bg\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cas.bg\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21027"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cas.bg\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/21027\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21168,"href":"https:\/\/cas.bg\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/21027\/revisions\/21168"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cas.bg\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cas.bg\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cas.bg\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21027"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cas.bg\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=21027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
