| Summary: | Using microdata from the Labour Force Survey, this research analyzes occupational segregation in the Spanish labour market between 1999 and 2011from a double perspective. First, it performs a one-dimensional study of segregation, so it considers segregation by gender and segregation by nationality separately. Second, a two-dimensional study considers both manifestations of segregation. The study reveals that nationality is a relevant variable in explaining the evolution of gender segregation. It also reveals that immigrant workers show an increasing trend in contributing to segregation, being immigrant women the group with greatest degree of vulnerability in the labour market. |
