labor market

Question 2One of the most persistent features of the labor market in industrialized countries is that it is highly segregated along gender lines, both vertically and horizontally. In terms of vertical segregation, women are over represented in low grade occupations at the lower end of the career hierarchy. Horizontally, women are disproportionately clustered into a narrow range of jobs that are typically regarded as ghetto occupations. Ghetto occupations have been classified as those which are female-dominated and of low status, poorly paid, with narrow job content and that offer few prospects for promotion (Truss et al, 2013)Critically evaluate the above statement and, in that context reasons for the current roles of men and women at work and likely future work roles of men and women in the UK. Use appropriate evidence and examples to support your answer.
