Abstract:
Gendered employment distribution in different occupations is a significant
dimension of the gender equality.It is the most generic indicator of female economic
disadvantage. Even though women have made substantial progress in economic sphere
recently,sex segregation in the workplace remains a fact. Taking the importance of the research
on industrial variation in occupational sex segregation as a case in point, this paper contributes
to the study of occupational segregation by using a refined occupational classification while
analytically studying the factors that shape occupational sex segregation in Sri Lankan labor
market.
