Abstract: We use recent German survey data for over three decades to analyze long-run trends in occupational segregation. Following the methodology of Blau et al. (2013), we show that segregation decline for both women and foreigners in Germany, if we use a given ISCO classification over time. However, using three different ISCO classifications (1968 to 2008) in given years, segregation tends to be a stable phenomenon.
