Occupational Ghettos : The Worldwide Segregation of Women and Men Paperback / softback
by Maria Charles, David B. Grusky
Part of the Studies in Social Inequality series
Paperback / softback
Description
The last half-century has witnessed dramatic declines in gender inequality, evidenced by the rise of egalitarian views on gender roles and the narrowing of long-standing gender gaps in university attendance and labor force participation.
This development, while spectacular, has been coupled with similarly impressive forms of resistance to equalization, most notably the continuing tendency for women to crowd into female “occupational ghettos.” This book answers the important questions: Why has such extreme segregation persisted even as other types of gender inequality have lessened?
Why is segregation especially extreme in precisely those countries that appear most committed to egalitarian reform and family-friendly policies?
