“…The weak association between racial/ethnic segregation in the United States and education could seem counterintuitive at first because of strong evidence of workers' sorting on skills across occupations. However, recent research conducted for occupational and workplace segregation at the national level (ALONSO-VILLAR et al, 2012;GRADÍN, 2013;HELLERSTEIN and NEUMARK, 2008) has shown that while the immigration and linguistic profile of Hispanics explained most of their segregation, the educational gap did not help explain much of segregation for these groups or for blacks. According to HELLER- STEIN and NEUMARK (2008), the segregation of blacks could be more associated with non-skill-based explanations such as discrimination, residential segregation or labour market networks, which in the present case are captured by the intrinsic segregation term.…”

“…The states' racial/ethnic structures, fuelled by their immigration and linguistic profiles, turns out to be clearly the most important reason behind the strong compositional effect. This is a consequence of recent immigrants with poor English fluency who belong to a racial/ ethnic minority (mainly Hispanics and Asians) being generally more segregated than others (ALONSO-VILLAR et al, 2012, GRADÍN, 2013. Similarly, HELLER- STEIN and NEUMARK (2008) found workplace segregation (i.e., at the establishment level) of Hispanics to be more closely associated with poor language proficiency than with lower education.…”

“…As Duncan et al (2006) documented, when years of schooling and English proficiency are controlled for, Hispanics barely lag behind whites in terms of employment and earnings. Alonso-Villar et al (2012) and Gradín (2013) also pointed out that these factors are an important source of occupational segregation for Hispanics. Our analysis by educational level shows that this is the case for Hispanic men: Γ substantially increases when comparing them with their peers in education (it is either positive or less negative).…”

The aim of this article is twofold: (1) to descriptively explore the evolution of occupational segregation of women and men of different racial/ethnic groups in the United States during 1940-2010, and (2) to assess the consequences of segregation for each group. For that purpose, in this article, we propose a simple index that measures the monetary loss or gain of a group derived from its overrepresentation in some occupations and underrepresentation in others. This index has a clear economic interpretation. It represents the per capita advantage (if the index is positive) or disadvantage (if the index is negative) of the group, derived from its segregation, as a proportion of the average wage of the economy. Our index is a helpful tool not only for academics but also for institutions concerned with inequalities among demographic groups because it makes it possible to rank them according to their segregational nature.

This article measures the extent of occupational segregation for gender and social groups in India. It is based on a recent round of a nationally representative employment and unemployment survey of the Government of India. We use overall and local measures of occupational segregation. We find that occupational segregation for both genders and social groups is higher in the urban sector than in the rural sector. Females are more segregated than their male counterparts in both sectors. Among social groups, scheduled caste and scheduled tribe groups have higher levels of segregation. Furthermore, we find that regular workers and the elderly are more segregated when we examine segregation, respectively, by nature of employment and across age groups.Cet article mesure l'étendue de la ségrégation occupationnelle en fonction du genre et du groupe social en Inde. Cet article s'appuie sur un sondage représentatif à l'échelle nationale sur l'emploi et le chômage, récemment réalisé par le Gouvernement Indien. Nous utilisons des mesure générales et locales pour la ségrégation occupationnelle. Nous trouvons que la ségrégation occupationnelle pour les deux genres ainsi que pour les divers groupes sociaux est plus importante dans le secteur urbain que dans le secteur rural. Dans les deux secteurs,les femmes sont plus susceptibles de subir la ségrégation que leurs homologues masculins. Parmi les groupes sociaux, les castes et les tribus les plus basses sont les plus affectées par la ségrégation. De plus, nous trouvons que les ouvriers routiniers et les personnes âgées sont plus ségréguées lorsque l'on examine la ségrégation selon la nature de l'emploi ou selon différentes catégories d'âge, respectivement.
