56: Gendered career paths? Horizontal gender segregation in education and the labor market

The persistence of the gender pay gap is well documented in the literature. One of its most important drivers is the phenomenon of horizontal gender segregation – i.e., the tendency of women and men to sort themselves into different, gendered occupational areas. The underrepresentation of women in s...
