“…First, they validate the idea that ethnic divisions of labor are more pronounced on the job-that is, within establishments-than within local occupational groupings-a finding which is consistent with well-established patterns of sex segregation in the labor market (Bielby and Baron, 1986;Blau, 1975;Reskin and Roos, 1990; Tomaskovic-Devey, 1993, pp. 24 -37).…”

“…While larger establishments are generally expected to have more formal recruitment procedures (i.e., less informal matching), the effect of establishment size on homogeneous jobs is more ambiguous. On the one hand, smaller establishments are likely to have smaller work groups, which are more easily dominated by a particular race or ethnic group; on the other hand, larger organizations may bring with them greater amounts of sex and race segregation on the job (Bielby and Baron, 1986) and be in a better position to absorb the financial cost of racial discrimination (Tolbert, 1986). I use a logarithmic transformation (natural log) of establishment sizemeasured as the number of employees-with the expectation that the effect of establishment size on working in a homogeneous job is nonlinear (Mueller, Finley, Iverson, and Price, 1999).…”

“…Less is known about whether gender differences in promotion are an important source of overall labor market segmentation, though it seems reasonable to expect that there might be some relationship. 2 This remains an important question for future research because of the critical role of job segregation in generating gender differences in labor market outcomes (Bielby and Baron, 1986).…”

“…Les institutions régissant le marché du travail reconnaissent, aujourd'hui, la nécessité, tant pour la mère que pour l'enfant, d'accorder des congés de maternité ainsi qu'une certaine flexibilité d'emploi pour que la mère puisse veiller au bienêtre de sa famille. Or, le fait de demander un congé de paternité ou de tels accommodements est beaucoup moins bien accepté de la part des hommes (Bielby et Baron 1986 ;Townsend, 2002 ;Feldman et al, 2004 ;Kugelberg 2006). À cause des modèles genrés encore présents dans la société, les employeurs tendent à voir d'un mauvais oeil ce type de demande, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit d'un emploi typiquement masculin (Bygren et Duvander, 2006).…”
