Occupational segregation measures: A role for status

Coral del Rio Otero and Olga Alonso-Villar

No 167, Working Papers from ECINEQ, Society for the Study of Economic Inequality

Abstract: This paper extends recent local segregation measures by incorporating status differences across occupations. These new measures are intended to be used to assess, from a normative point of view, the segregation of a target group. They seem appropriate to complement, rather than substitute, other measures by quantifying how things change when taking into account the status of occupations. The usefulness of these tools is shown in the case of occupational segregation of immigrants and natives in Spain.
