    • Abstract:
      Contrary to the general idea that occupational segregation is a declining phenomenon, it increased in Spain between 2001 and 2011. We replicate a previous study (Ibáñez, 2008) and compare findings from the Economically Active Population Survey and the Wage Structure Survey. Results suggest a complex situation and raise concern about the continuation of women's occupational segregation. Women have not been able to access traditional male or skilled high salary occupations, nor new highly qualified and paid occupations in the fields of computer and data science. Hence, labour market segregation is still a source of discrimination between the sexes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      Frente a la idea general de que la segregación ocupacional es un fenómeno en retroceso, se comprueba su aumento en España entre los Censos de 2001 y 2011. Replicando una investigación anterior (Ibáñez, 2008), se comparan resultados entre la Encuesta de Población Activa y la de Estructuras Salariales. Los resultados invitan a adoptar una perspectiva compleja, y subrayan la preocupante permanencia de la segregación laboral femenina. Las mujeres no han conseguido entrar ni en ocupaciones tradicionalmente masculinas no cualificadas pero con altas remuneraciones, ni tampoco en aquellas nuevas ligadas a actividades de la informática que requieren una elevada cualificación y perciben una elevada remuneración. Queda patente así que la segregación laboral es, y sigue siendo, una fuente de discriminación entre los sexos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
