The Measurement of Occupational Gender Segregation: Current Problems and A New Approach
本文指出英国职业性别隔离研究中两个主要测量指标的缺陷，提出基于边际匹配的新方法，并分析1951-1981年英格兰和威尔士的数据，发现隔离水平变化不大。
SUMMARY This paper demonstrates the weaknesses of the two principal measures used in British occupational segregation research-the index of dissimilarity and the sex ratio index. It takes a fresh look at the conceptual and statistical issues involved and proposes a solution through a new approach using marginal matching. Contrary to the findings of previous researchers, the analysis of British census data reveals that there has been little change in segregation levels between 1951 and 1981 in England and Wales.
