===== Definition ===== 

Labor force segregation refers to the division or separation of workers within the labor market based on various characteristics such as gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability status, or other demographic factors. This segregation can occur across different industries, occupations, job roles, and hierarchical positions within organizations.

Gender-based labor force segregation, for example, occurs when certain industries or occupations are predominantly staffed by either men or women. This can result from historical norms, stereotypes, discriminatory practices, or structural barriers that limit access to certain fields for individuals based on their gender.

Similarly, racial or ethnic labor force segregation refers to the concentration of certain racial or ethnic groups in specific industries, occupations, or job categories. This can stem from systemic inequalities, historical discrimination, unequal access to education and training opportunities, and other factors that limit economic mobility and advancement for marginalized groups.

Labor force segregation can have significant implications for individual workers, as well as for society as a whole. It can contribute to disparities in wages, career advancement, job stability, and access to benefits and opportunities for professional development. Efforts to address labor force segregation often involve policies and initiatives aimed at promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, reducing barriers to entry and advancement for marginalized groups, and challenging systemic inequalities within the labor market.
