Integrating Occupations: Changing Occupational Sex Segregation from 2000 to 2010

• In Event: 228 - Regular Session. Gendered Work and the Wage Gap

Abstract

We provide further insight into changing occupational sex segregation, digging more deeply
into what has happened since 2000. Specifically, we examine changing percentage female in
detailed occupational categories from 2000 to 2010. We look both to female integration into
male occupations (the traditional interest of researchers in this field), and to male integration into female occupations (less often studied). We also explore whether integration varies by location in the occupational structure, and/or by the socio‐demographic characteristics of
occupational incumbents.
