“…Uhrig and Watson (2020) explored how the reliability of measurement varies over time, across genders, and measurement protocols by investigating the impact of measurement error on wage inequalities. Dilmaghani and Tabvuma (2019) measured the role of the socio-cultural context and legislation in influencing the job satisfaction of blue- and pink-collar employees. Aksoy et al.…”

Despite the proliferation of occupational segregation research, only a limited amount has explored it from a gender perspective. The attention that has been given is widely scattered and requires an analysis to identify the major works undertaken and the changes over time. This study aimed to examine and assimilate articles published on gender-based occupational segregation through a bibliometric analysis. The study examined 512 articles published from the early 1970s to 2020 that were retrieved from the Web of Science database. The findings suggest that gender and occupational segregation remain an extensive field of research, although this research comes mainly from North American and European countries. The low representation from developing countries indicates that more research is needed based on these different socio-cultural settings. This study identified three dominant research clusters, namely gendered organisational structures and systems, measurement of occupational segregation, and wage differential. Studies also covered areas including conceptualization, LGBTQ issues, and the role of legislation and institutions in reducing workplace inequalities; thus, providing a direction for scholars and practitioners.

“…A large literature has documented that female job satisfaction is higher in female-dominated occupations (Clark, 1997;Singhapakdi et al, 2014;Sousa-Poza and Sousa-Poza 2000;Bender et al, 2005). Given that Trades/Transport is considered a persistently maledominated occupation in Canada (Hulme, 2006;Dilmaghani and Tabvuma, 2018), it was not…”

“…The rise in female educational attainment has gradually reduced the vertical gender segregation. But, the horizontal occupational segregation appears to be more persistent (Fortin and Huberman, 2002;Hunt, 2016;Dilmaghani and Tabvuma, 2018). Horizontal segregation entails the overrepresentation of a gender in certain occupations, which generally require the same level of education.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare the gender gaps in work–life balance satisfaction across occupations. Due to data limitations, the studies of work–life balance satisfaction have generally relied on researcher collected data. As a result, large-scale studies encompassing all occupations in the same social and policy context are rare. In several cycles of the Canadian General Social Survey, the respondents are directly asked about their work–life balance (WLB) satisfaction. The present paper takes advantage of this unique opportunity to compare the gender gap in WLB satisfaction across occupations in Canada. Design/methodology/approach This paper pools four cross-sectional datasets (N = 37,335). Multivariate regression analysis is used. Findings Women in management and education are found to have a lower WLB satisfaction than their male counterparts. Conversely, and rather surprisingly, a WLB satisfaction advantage is found for women in transport over males in this occupation. Further investigation shows that the female WLB advantage in transport is driven by the relatively low WLB satisfaction of males in this occupation, while the opposite is true for education. Social implications The findings are discussed in light of the WLB policies and their increasing gender-blindness. Originality/value This paper is the first large-scale study which compares the gender gap in WLB satisfaction across occupations, in a given policy context.

“…In the literature focussed on the gender gaps in job satisfaction, a female advantage is often reported. This pattern is referred to as the "paradox" of the contended female worker, as female-dominated jobs usually have a lower pay (Bender et al, 2005;Linz and Semykina, 2013;Dilmaghani and Tabvuma, 2019). Some authors have attributed this pattern to the greater flexibility and lower demands of female-dominated jobs (Bender et al, 2005).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to, using several cycles of the Canadian General Social Survey (GSS) covering 2010–2015, examine the patterns of work-life balance (WLB) satisfaction and work-life segmentation by sexual orientation. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, multivariate regression analysis is used. Findings The analysis shows that men living with a male partner are more satisfied with their WLB than their heterosexual counterparts. No statistically significant difference is found between women who live with a female partner and their heterosexual counterparts, in WLB satisfaction. Work-life segmentation is operationalized by the odds of being at the top levels of the life satisfaction scale without being satisfied with the circumstances of one’s job. Controlling for a wide range of characteristics, working Canadians living with a same-sex partner, regardless of their genders, are found more likely to have segmented their work and life domains than their heterosexual counterparts. Originality/value The paper, for the first time, investigates how sexual orientation relates to WLB satisfaction and work-life segmentation. This study exploits a unique opportunity offered by the Canadian GSSs in which WLB satisfaction is directly surveyed, all the while partnered sexual minorities are identifiable.
