Despite profound economic and social changes in Britain during the
1980s, men and women remain highly segregated at work - a
segregation strongly related to inequalities in pay, career
prospects, and employment protection. This book analyzes the nature
and significance of gender segregation within the context of labour
market change. The analysis has many novel features. These include
a combination of economic and sociological approaches; the
integration of demand and supply explanations; systematic
comparisons between "male" and "female" jobs; the incorporation of
work history and life cycle variables; and the investigation of
"sexist attitudes" and the sex-labelling of jobs. The effects of
social change are analyzed through employer, industry, and locality
case studies. The results show that the sex ratio of a job is an
important aspect of labour market structure, whether or not gender
is the focus of the study, and that desegregation is still a long
way off.
