===== Definition ===== 

Vertical labor segregation refers to the phenomenon in which certain groups of people are concentrated in lower-paying or lower-status jobs within a particular industry or occupation, while other groups are more likely to be found in higher-paying or higher-status positions. This can be based on factors such as race, gender, age, disability, or other characteristics.

For example, women are often found to be overrepresented in lower-paying and lower-status positions within male-dominated industries such as technology or finance. This can result in a lack of diversity and representation in higher-level roles, as well as disparities in pay and opportunities for advancement.

Vertical labor segregation can perpetuate inequalities and create barriers for certain groups to access higher-paying and higher-status positions. Addressing this issue requires a focus on diversity and inclusion, as well as policies and practices that promote equal access to opportunities and advancement within the workforce.
