Abstract

Music composers exemplify precarious work: they historically have been freelancers and have relied on multiple jobs to subsidize their creative work. We focus here on the gender pay gap amidst such precariousness—heeding their income earned solely from composition and from the totality of jobs recently held. There is no gender pay gap when it comes to income earned from composition but there is a significant gap for income earned from all jobs, showing that women composers face relative disadvantage in subsidizing their creative work. We also find that men and women composers experience different and racialized returns to their capitals and career positioning when navigating precarious work. These findings have lessons for multiple literatures—including those on the new sociology of work and on creative careers.

她仍然为钱努力工作:作曲家,不稳定的工作和性别收入差距
音乐作曲家是不稳定工作的典型:他们历来都是自由职业者,依靠多份工作来补贴他们的创造性工作。在这里,我们关注的是这种不稳定中的性别收入差距——关注她们的收入仅仅来自于她们的构成和最近从事的工作的总数。从作曲收入来看,没有性别收入差距,但从所有工作的收入来看,性别收入差距很大,这表明女性作曲家在资助她们的创作工作方面处于相对劣势。我们还发现,在不稳定的工作中,男性和女性作曲家的资本回报和职业定位不同,而且种族化。这些发现对许多文献都有借鉴意义,包括那些关于新工作社会学和创造性职业的文献。
