As a sociologist of work and family, Núria Sánchez-Mira studies the mechanisms through which gender inequalities are produced and reproduced in employment, organizations, and family life. Her research focuses in particular on:

• The consequences of economic crises for gender inequalities in labour markets and households;
• Transformations of work driven by the digitalization of the economy;
• The intersections of gender and class relations;
• The precarization of employment in female-dominated sectors;
• Organizational mechanisms of the (re)production of gender inequalities;
• Contemporary transformations of family trajectories and family configurations.
