Abstract:
|
This paper explores the unintended gendered consequences of varieties of capitalism. It develops a novel micro-logic of gender bias of different skills to explain occupational sex segregation. The central claim of this paper is that specific skills discriminate against women; while general skills are more gender neutral. Coordinated market economies, because of their robust institutional protection of male skill investments, end up exacerbating sex segregation in the market. The empirical section of the paper consists of cross-sectional analyses of 20 advanced industrial countries. |
