Definition

Occupational gender segregation refers to the concentration of men and women in different occupations or industries. It is the phenomenon where certain jobs are dominated by either men or women, resulting in a significant gender imbalance in the workforce.

Historically, occupational gender segregation has been prevalent and continues to persist in many societies. It is influenced by various factors such as societal gender norms, stereotypes, discrimination, and differences in education and training opportunities.

Some common examples of occupational gender segregation include:

1. Men being overrepresented in fields such as engineering, computer science, and construction, which are often associated with technical skills and physical strength.

2. Women being overrepresented in fields such as nursing, teaching, and administrative roles, which are often associated with caregiving, nurturing, and organizational skills.

The consequences of occupational gender segregation can be far-reaching. It can contribute to gender-based pay gaps, limit opportunities for career advancement and leadership roles for women, reinforce gender stereotypes, and perpetuate inequality in the workforce.

Efforts to address occupational gender segregation have included promoting equal access to education and training, challenging gender stereotypes, encouraging greater diversity and inclusion in traditionally male-dominated fields, and implementing policies to support work-life balance and parental leave for both men and women.

While progress has been made in reducing occupational gender segregation in some areas, it remains a significant issue in many countries, requiring ongoing efforts to achieve true gender equality in the workforce.
