Explaining vertical gender segregation: a research agenda

Work, Employment & Society, 2017, vol. 31, issue 5, 861-871

Abstract: This research agenda outlines possible routes to pursue an explanation of vertical gender segregation. The analysis emphasizes the expanding opportunities brought about by a combination of Big Data and public policies, like gender quotas, and uncovers important challenges for which possible solutions are offered. Experimental work is likely to remain very useful in the pursuit of answers to this asymmetric gender presence.
