Alex Goga, Wabash College

Abstract

This study has found evidence that occupational segregation is still present, as some traditionally feminine occupations (primary school teaching and nursing) comprise significantly more women than men. Furthermore, this study has found evidence that the earnings gender gap persists even in these occupations that continue to be dominated by women.
