Definition

Vertical gender segregation refers to the unequal distribution of men and women in different levels and positions within an organization or industry. This type of segregation occurs when men and women are concentrated in different types of jobs, with men more likely to occupy higher managerial or leadership roles, while women are more likely to hold lower-level or support positions. This form of segregation reinforces gender stereotypes and limits women's opportunities for advancement and equal representation in the workforce. Efforts to address vertical gender segregation include equal opportunity policies, mentorship programs, and initiatives to promote gender diversity in leadership roles.
