A Gender-Segregated Labour Market

This report analyses the scope and developments in gender segregation on the labour market from 1992 to 2013.
The report provides an overview of the split between men and women by sector, industry and position, and it gives an insight into sector and industry mobility for men and women. The report also describes gender segregation within the education system and charts the transition from education to the labour market.
Finally, the researchers behind the study provide an insight into the consequences of gender segregation on the labour market and the explanations for this gender segregation.
This is the first time that the transition from education to work has been described in terms of gender. Among other things, the study shows that, despite there being a tendency for more equal gender distribution within individual educational pathways, this has not led to less gender segregation within sectors and industries.
The study was commissioned and financed by the Ministry of Employment.
