Abstract: |
This article examines changes in gender segregation in Canada between 1981 and 1996. Overall segregation declined slightly. This is a continuation of a trend occurring since the 1960s. The decline comprises a 41% decrease in vertical segregation, representing inequality associated with occupational earnings, and increases in horizontal segregation, difference without such inequality. Women strengthened their footholds in the full-time work force and diversified their breadth of participation, just as men’s participation in part-time and less desirable enclaves began to increase, and as traditionally male occupations experienced both decline and some influx of female workers. |
