Horizontal occupational segregation refers to the separation of men and women into different types of jobs within an organization or industry. This type of segregation occurs when men and women are disproportionately represented in certain types of roles based on their gender. For example, women may be more likely to work in administrative roles or in the caring professions, while men may be more likely to work in technical or managerial roles. | Horizontal occupational segregation refers to the separation of men and women into different types of jobs within an organization or industry.

Definition
Horizontal occupational segregation refers to the separation of men and women into different types of jobs within an organization or industry. This type of segregation occurs when men and women are disproportionately represented in certain types of roles based on their gender. For example, women may be more likely to work in administrative roles or in the caring professions, while men may be more likely to work in technical or managerial roles.
Horizontal occupational segregation can lead to unequal opportunities for career advancement, lower pay for women, and perpetuate gender stereotypes in the workforce. Efforts to address horizontal occupational segregation include promoting diversity and equality in hiring practices, providing training and development opportunities to break down gender stereotypes, and implementing policies to encourage gender balance in all types of roles within an organization.
