    Negatively privileged status groups
    Womens position in the labour market is lost and permanently kept out by male workers through social closure
  • Weberian
    Vertical segregation:
    Men dominate the highest ranking jobs and women are unable to reach these positions due to the glass ceiling. Status groups (men in professional roles) use social closure to exclude women from top positions (vertical segregation).
  • Horizontal segregation
    Cultural norms and gender roles push men and women into different job sectors reflecting differences in social status. There is a difference in the number of males and females in an occupation
