Gender Segregation by Occupations in the Public and the Private Sector. the Case of Spain
نویسنده
چکیده
In Spain, recruiting and promotion procedures in the public sector would appear to leave less room for gender discrimination than in the private sector. Employing data for 1977 and 1992, this paper explores the consequences of these procedures for gender segregation using an additive segregation index based on the entropy concept. It is found that gender segregation in the private sector is significantly larger than in the public sector in both years. Furthermore, segregation remains constant in the public sector but increases by 15% in t he private sector throughout the period. Finally, the index decomposability property is used to highlight the role of public hiring procedures in gender segregation differences.
