Abstract
The paper examines the contours of employment change in England and Wales between
1921 and 2011 using data from the respective Censuses of Population. The main focus
of the analysis is on four related sets of phenomena: changing patterns of employment
across industrial sectors, changes to patterns of gender and paid employment, changes
to occupational segregation by gender and the changing contours of locality differences
within England and Wales over the period. Various sociological debates about structural
change are probed in detail. The paper concludes that whilst there have been a range of
significant changes to these phenomena, there have also been some marked structural
continuities.
