Abstract
Overall, income inequality in Austria is moderate and has been stable in recent years. However, a look at employment statistics reveals important inequality trends in the labour market. This paper highlights five important shifts in the composition of the labour force: (i) a massive increase in female labour force participation; (ii) large shifts in the distribution of education; (iii) trends towards part-time work among women as well as men; (iv) persistent gender gaps in market and non-market work of parents; and (v) an increase in labour migration with a substantial share of cross-border commuters.
