Occupational Segregation by Sex: The Role of Intergenerational Transmission
نویسنده
چکیده
Occupational segregation by sex is a persistent feature of labor markets all around the world. I provide one perspective on why men and women continue to enter different occupations by investigating the intergenerational transmission of the sex composition of occupations using Swedish register data. I find that the more sex stereotypical the occupations of parents are, the more sex stereotypical the occupations of their children will be. The associations are stronger between children and their same-sex parent than between children and their opposite-sex parent, and stronger for sons than for daughters. I also find that the associations between children and their same-sex parent are partly accounted for by children entering the same occupation or occupation group as their same-sex parent.
