• Resumen

  • This article aims to analyse gender inequalities in the performing arts sector in Spain, and more specifically, the disparities evident in relation to remuneration. Based on a sample of 800 professionals, our results revealed that the employment situation in Spain is worse for women, who continued to be paid less than their male counterparts. This held true even when women performed the same duties, had a higher level of training, held the same positions, or had been working in the sector for the same number of years as men. An understanding of these inequalities, and especially of their multidimensional character, could help both government agencies and private sector organisations to develop and implement measures that promote gender equality, which now forms the basis for cultural diversity in the performing arts.
