===== Definition ===== 

Gender work segregation refers to the phenomenon in which certain types of jobs or industries are dominated by individuals of a specific gender. This can be the result of various factors, such as societal expectations, discrimination, or traditional gender roles. For example, nursing and teaching tend to be female-dominated professions, while fields such as construction and engineering are often male-dominated. Gender work segregation can contribute to gender inequality in the workforce, as certain occupations may be devalued or less financially rewarding simply because they are predominantly held by one gender. Efforts to address gender work segregation may include promoting diversity and inclusion in various industries, advocating for equal pay and opportunities for all genders, and challenging traditional stereotypes about the types of work that are suitable for different genders.
