Occupational Segregation | Vibepedia

Occupational segregation refers to the distribution of workers across and within occupations, based on demographic characteristics such as gender, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Men dominated the construction and transportation industries. The ILO uses the Index of Dissimilarity to measure occupational segregation in its reports on gender equality in the workplace. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for greater flexibility and adaptability in the workplace. Remote work has increased opportunities for women and marginalized groups to participate in the workforce.
