Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Occupational segregation by gender leads to certain jobs being predominantly held by women and others being predominantly held by men. Jobs that are seen as traditionally female may be devalued and paid less, while jobs traditionally held by men may be seen as more prestigious and paid more. This contributes to the gender pay gap and discrimination against women in the workforce.
