title = "Persistent Low Inequality Despite Compositional Shifts in Austria",
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 labor market. This paper highlights five important shifts in the composition of the labor force: (i) a massive increase in female labor force participation, (ii) large shifts in the distribution of education, (iii) trends toward 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 labor migration with a substantial share of cross-border commuters.",
