Traduction de «ségrégation des emplois » (Français → Anglais) :

Gender awareness extends beyond visible inequalities such as wage differences or the segregation of scientific and service sector jobs.

V. whereas the recent secondary analysis of the 5th EWCS (‘Women, men and working conditions in Europe: Secondary analysis of the 5th European Working conditions survey’, Eurofound 2012, to be published in 2013) shows that gender segregation is detrimental for both male and female workers; whereas both men and women report increased wellbeing at work and greater job satisfaction where they work with colleagues of both sexes; whereas scope nonetheless remains for combating gender segregation on the labour market, occupational gender polarisation, and the existence of 'mono-gendered' workplaces (given that three-fifths of workers in E ...[+++]urope are employed at a single-sex workplace);

The pay gap can be explained, in part, because women do not hold the same jobs, due to the continuing horizontal segregation and the gender-specific division of labour, as well as the vertical segregation related to the so-called glass ceiling, and the higher incidence of part-time employment.

K. whereas limited progress has been made with regard to women’s employment rates and the level of occupational and sectorial segregation of women and men into different types of jobs remains relatively high, with some vocational categories being mainly occupied by women and those sectors and occupations tending to be less well-paid or valued, despite the existing framework at EU and national level; whereas this situation also has ...[+++] an impact on the gender pay gap over the course of a lifetime; whereas vertical segregation, whereby women feature predominantly in part-time work and lower-paid occupations or are in lower-level positions in the hierarchy, also contributes to the gender pay gap; whereas horizontal and vertical segregation form obstacles to the professional development of women and result in lower levels of visibility and representation for women in the social and public spheres, and as such contribute more broadly to greater inequalities, and whereas overcoming them and having more women enter into higher positions in organisational hierarchies would provide positive role models for young women and girls;

In order to increase employment growth and improve quality in work employment policies would need to focus on the structural inequalities of the labour market. These inequalities include gender gaps in employment, unemployment and non standard forms of employment; gender segregation in sectors and occupations; the gender pay gap; and the advancement of women into decision-making positions.

Such unbalances lead to segregated labour markets, hamper the achievement of the overall upgrading quality of work which is at the core of the European employment strategy and they may result in lasting dependency on migration to ensure that the low quality jobs are filled.
