| Summary: | This paper provides descriptive evidence for declining occupational sex
segregation on the German labor market, especially concerning the regional
differences between the former East and West Germany. I use segregation
measures and long-run social security data for the decade of 1992 to 2004.
While segregation has declined over time, it remains higher for the eastern
part of Germany. Although this finding is observable for full-time and
part-time work, segregation is always lower in part-time employment. |
