Definition[edit | edit source]
Preoccupational segregation refers to the phenomenon where certain occupations or industries are dominated by individuals from specific demographic groups, such as gender or race. This segregation occurs when individuals from these groups face barriers or biases that restrict their access to certain occupations, resulting in concentration in lower-paying or historically marginalized occupations.
There are several factors that contribute to preoccupational segregation. Social and cultural norms play a significant role, influencing perceptions of what is considered suitable or appropriate work for different demographic groups. Discrimination and bias in hiring and promotion practices can also contribute to the concentration of certain groups in specific occupations.
Preoccupational segregation has significant implications for income inequality and social mobility. If certain groups are systematically excluded or confined to lower-paying occupations, it perpetuates disparities in wages and opportunities. This can have long-term effects on wealth accumulation and overall economic well-being.
Efforts to combat preoccupational segregation include policies and initiatives that promote equal opportunities, diversity, and inclusivity in the workforce. This can include implementing fair hiring practices, providing educational and training opportunities, and challenging stereotypes and biases that contribute to occupational segregation.
