Some Reflections on the Spatial Dimensions of Occupational Segregation
从女性主义视角批判新古典城市模型忽视性别与空间的关系,探讨城市空间结构如何影响职业隔离,并建议借鉴其他学科完善理论模型。
This paper considers the role that urban spatial structure may play in the process of occupational segregation, and argues that neoclassical economic models of urban employment and residential location decisions have not considered the relationship between gender-based labor market status and space. The paper provides a critical feminist perspective on how conventional urban models have been used to explain patterns of segregation, and suggests reasons for limitations in existing theoretical and empirical analysis. It also explores ways in which economists can draw on work in other disciplines to develop fuller and more useful models of the relationship between urban spatial structure and occupational segregation.
