Explain one implication of occupational segregation.
What will be an ideal response?
Occupational segregation has various implications. One implication is that men and women will likely only believe they are suited for certain occupations based on how many people of their same gender work in that field or are shown to work in that field. It is difficult to believe you could be a pilot as a woman if you have never seen a female pilot. A man might think that childcare occupations are not for him because he has only seen women doing this job. Another implication is that about 50% of the wage gap is due to occupational segregation. So women are being paid less because they tend to be the majority in lower paid fields.
