ABSTRACT

This concluding chapter summarises the theoretical contributions of the chapters and their significance for understanding and theorising age and gender inequalities in professions. It then discusses implications of these findings for research on professions, and identifies promising directions for future research. The chapter ends with a section on policy recommendations for educators, professionals, and professional organisations, as well as policy- and decision-makers. The aim of the section is to enhance generational understanding, relationships, and collaboration in educational institutions, organisations, and professions.
