DIFIS
The aim of this project is to describe and explain long term trends in vertical and horizontal occupational gender segregation in a multilevel research design. While women are nowadays still less integrated in the labour market and are paid less for comparable work in most advanced societies, occupational status presents an exception to this pattern. Across advanced societies women’s status is comparable to that of men. We take a long term perspective to trace the processes that led to the convergence in status but a persistence of occupational segregation. Our research design is unique as it covers data on the occupational status of men and women across a centenary (1860-1970) and includes detailed regional measures of modernization processes, such as educational expansion and female labour force participation.
In collaboration with Ineke Maas and Marco van Leeuwen (Utrecht University)
