Occupational Segmentation

Occupational Segmentation is a structural division within the labor market whereby occupations are categorized into distinct, often hierarchical, segments based on criteria such as skill level, employment conditions, or social characteristics, differentiating it from broader occupational classification systems by emphasizing systemic barriers and unequal access to opportunities across segments.
