What is the Impact of Segregation?
One of the strengths of this approach to exploring segregation is the possibility to analyse the interaction between segregation and job quality outcomes. For example, in the case of supervisory responsibilities we find that opportunities for supervisory responsibilities are highly concentrated in certain occupations for both women and men and these opportunities tendto be low in female-dominated occupations. Men are also more likely to be supervisors than women in every single occupational group, even the mostfemale-dominated ones. Similarly gender pay gaps in favour of men exist in almost all occupations but average pay levels within female-dominated and maledominatedoccupations vary according to the nature of the work. This means thatsome female-dominated occupations provide average pay levels for women as wellas men that exceed men’s average pay in the labour market as a whole.
