Addressing Gender-Based Occupational Segregation
Gender-based occupational segregation - the fact that men and women are typically concentrated in different occupations and economic sectors - contributes to gender gaps in earnings. In an experiment in the Republic of Congo, the authors examine whether addressing informational constraints around returns from male dominated sectors can encourage young women to apply for training in more profitable male-dominated sectors. There is high potential for interventions that pair information on returns and trade exposure. However, there are gender gaps in access to early opportunities, mainly relevant technical experience and network connections. Providing information on earnings is a low-cost intervention that can encourage young women to crossover to more lucrative trades, thereby reducing the gender gap in earnings.

La ségrégation professionnelle fondée sur le genre – le fait que les hommes et les femmes ont généralement tendance à se concentrer dans des emplois et des secteurs économiques différents – contribue à creuser les écarts de revenus. Les femmes sont confrontées à plusieurs obstacles, notamment des biais inconscients, des normes sociales, un manque d’informations et de sensibilisation au secteur concerné, des contraintes de temps et un accès restreint au capital. Tous ces obstacles les empêchent d’intégrer des secteurs dominés par les hommes. Il existe un fort potentiel pour les interventions associant la communication d’informations sur les revenus et la sensibilisation à un métier. Dans notre étude, l’impact de l’information sur les revenus sur le choix du métier est presque quatre fois plus important chez les femmes qui avaient au préalable une expérience ou des connaissances techniques, et trois fois plus importante chez celles qui avaient un modèle. 2022-03-22T15:22:04Z 2022-03-22T15:22:04Z 2022-03-01 Report Rapport Informe http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/352141647327119360/Addressing-Gender-Based-Occupational-Segregation-Experimental-Evidence-from-the-Republic-of-Congo https://hdl.handle.net/10986/37184 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank application/pdf text/plain application/pdf Washington, DC: World Bank |

Gender-based occupational segregation
- the fact that men and women are typically concentrated in
different occupations and economic sectors - contributes to
gender gaps in earnings. In an experiment in the Republic of
Congo, the authors examine whether addressing informational
constraints around returns from male dominated sectors can
encourage young women to apply for training in more
profitable male-dominated sectors. There is high potential
for interventions that pair information on returns and trade
exposure. However, there are gender gaps in access to early
opportunities, mainly relevant technical experience and
network connections. Providing information on earnings is a
low-cost intervention that can encourage young women to
crossover to more lucrative trades, thereby reducing the
gender gap in earnings. |
