Editing Conditional occupational segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Conditional occupational segregation refers to the phenomenon where certain groups of individuals are more likely to be concentrated in specific types of jobs or industries due to social, cultural, and economic factors. This type of segregation may occur as a result of discrimination, bias, lack of access to education and training opportunities, or other barriers that prevent individuals from entering certain fields or occupations.

For example, women may be more likely to be employed in fields such as nursing and teaching, while men are more likely to be employed in fields such as engineering and construction. This type of segregation can lead to disparities in income, career advancement opportunities, and overall job satisfaction for individuals who are disproportionately concentrated in certain occupations.

Efforts to address conditional occupational segregation may include policies and initiatives aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace, increasing access to education and training programs for underrepresented groups, and challenging stereotypes and biases that may contribute to the segregation of certain groups in the labor market. By addressing the root causes of occupational segregation, society can work towards creating more equitable and inclusive work environments for all individuals.
