===== Definition ===== 

Stereotypical occupational segregation refers to the phenomenon where certain occupations are predominantly populated by people of a particular gender, race, or ethnicity, based on societal stereotypes and expectations. This segregation can limit the career choices and opportunities available to individuals, reinforcing social inequalities and perpetuating stereotypes.

For example, certain professions like nursing, teaching, and social work are often stereotypically associated with women, while careers in engineering, computer science, and finance are typically seen as male-dominated. Similarly, certain racial or ethnic groups may be overrepresented or underrepresented in particular fields due to societal biases and stereotypes.

Stereotypical occupational segregation can result in unequal access to opportunities, pay disparities, and limited career advancement for individuals who do not conform to the normative expectations of their chosen field. Moreover, the perpetuation of these stereotypes can hinder diversity and inclusion efforts in the workplace, as well as reinforce gender, racial, and ethnic biases.

Efforts to address stereotypical occupational segregation involve promoting gender and racial equality, challenging stereotypes, and providing equal opportunities and support for individuals to pursue their chosen fields regardless of societal expectations. This can be done through educational programs, mentorship initiatives, diversity and inclusion policies, workplace training, and awareness campaigns.
