  1. Gender Inequality at Work in Industrial CountriesR.M. Blackburn G. Racko

  2. The Dimensions of Segregation Max = 1 Overall Segregation = Gini Coefficient Vertical Segregation = Somers’ D 0 Max = 1 Horizontal Segregation = √[(Overall Segregation)2– (Vertical Segregation)2] Max = –1 • Vertical segregation measures inequality • Horizontal segregation measures difference without inequality • Overall segregation is the resultant of V and H

  3. Contrary to the popular view: 1. Segregation is NOT a measure of inequality. Overall and Vertical segregation are negatively related. 2. Women are advantaged in terms of the social stratification hierarchy

  4. Economic Measures by Overall, Vertical and Horizontal Segregation ** p < .05, * p < .1 (Spearman rho, one-tailed).

  5. Religion by Overall, Vertical and Horizontal dimensions ** p < .05, * p < .1 (Spearman rho, one-tailed).

  6. Laissez-Faire Capitalist Values by Overall, Vertical and Horizontal Segregation ** p < .05, * p < .1 (Spearman rho, one-tailed).

  7. Cultural Values by Overall, Vertical and Horizontal Segregation ** p < .05, * p < .1 (Spearman rho, one-tailed).

  8. Conclusion • Higher Overall Segregation - Lower male advantage in pay - Higher female advantage in stratification • Countries vary widely in levels of vertical and horizontal segregation • Overall segregation and its dimensions meaningfully differentiate countries according to social, economic and cultural characteristics
