Labor market segregation

Labor market segregation means the choice and exercise of certain professions predominantly by people with certain characteristics in the labor market . According to Duden, segregation means the " segregation of a group of people for social, property or spatial reasons ". In relation to the labor market, this means, for example, occupations in typical female or male domains that are significantly reflected in the professions learned and performed (more generally: gender segregation on the labor market ), but also, for example, professions that are predominantly carried out by migrants .
