Gender inequalities in the music industry in Spain. A mixed methodology study.

In today's music industry, many female workers live experiences of injustice and inequality that, perceived or not, are caused by and simultaneously affect the system of production relations and daily life. Such experiences are already evident from the state of ignorance that comes with the lack of databases and records of economic activities separated by gender in this industry. This paper attempts to answer a specific question: how can we investigate the possible experiences of gender injustices and inequalities when there are no official records to shed light on the basic structures that order the production relationships that affect daily life? This question is even more important when there is now ample evidence of the historical inequality of women compared to men in the labour market. Therefore, the mixed methodology used in this work responds to the injustice and epistemic ignorance that underlies the present structure of labour relations and the reconciliation of family life, allowing an exploratory and descriptive analysis of their situation from this initial premise. The aim of this article was to present and justify the procedures required to implement a mixed qualitative and quantitative methodology as a tool required to address research on the situation of female workers in the music industry in Spain.
