The current challenges imply a transformation of inequalities, which for the women's collective, translates into greater polarisation and a hardening of working conditions due not only to gender issues, but also to other variables such as social class, ethnicity or functional diversity. This heterogeneity imposes a model of labour relations in which the female sex is once again subject to multiple discrimination.

Studies of the labour market from a gender perspective in recent decades not only show the existing inequality, but also highlight how gender inequality is a structuring fact of labour relations which, rather than reducing the gap, transform this unequal relationship into other types of discrimination.
