GUZMAN GALLANGOS, Flérida. Where do men and women work in the beginning of the ninth and where six years after? Occupational segregation for gender in Mexico since 1991 to 1997. Inv. Econ [online]. 2001, vol.61, n.236, pp.93-135. ISSN 0185-1667.

In the labor market one of the sexual inequalities is the difference in opportunities which men and women have to occupy positions within the labor market structure. Women are predominately concentrated in stereotyped occupations, classified as feminine, as a result of social norms and men are concentrated in stereotyped masculine occupations.

This situation in which men and women are employed in different occupations and separated from each other is called occupational segregation by sex. It is a product of the sexual division of labor, patriarchy social stereotypes as to what is famine and masculine and to structural factors such as transformations in the productive structures. In Mexico form 1992 to 1997, occupational segregation fell slightly due to a change in the sex composition of occupations. The causes of this transformation are due mainly to changes in the productive structure and the increases in the educational level of women. Toe change in the concentration of men and women in different occupations allowed the number of mixed occupations to grow, feminine occupations fell, while the number of masculine occupations stayed the same.
