FLIGHT PATHS AND REVOLVING DOORS: A CASE STUDY OF GENDER DESEGREGATION IN PHARMACY
研究了加拿大安大略省药剂师对女性大量进入药学行业的反应,发现没有证据表明真正的性别融合或男性不满导致的重新隔离,女性对职业评价更积极。
This paper examines practitioner reactions to occupational de-segregation in pharmacy – the effects, for women and men, of a rapid female entry into the profession. The topic is documented in terms of processes of integration, ghettoisation, and re-segregation. With data collected from licensed pharmacists in Ontario, Canada, we find little evidence of either genuine gender integration in the profession or gender re-segregation precipitated by collective male discontent. While female practitioners are more positive in their evaluation of their jobs and their profession, there is no indication that current satisfaction and dissatisfaction is a harbinger of male – or female – flight from pharmacy. We discuss these findings in the light of arguments about a job and gender queue in the labour market.
