İÇİNDEKİLERContentsPreface Authors' acknowledgements 1. Introduction Aims and purposes of the manual Organization of the manual Clarifying concepts and definitions Segregation Concentration Problems of measurement The quality of data Consistency in data collection and recording Definitions of the labour force Definitions that distinguish forms of employment Consistency in occupational classification schemes Coding data to more than one occupational classification scheme Backward and forward aggregating Using a constant subset of occupations Level of data aggregation Industrial classification Data quality: Final remarks A vertical dimension Identifying a suitable measurement procedure 2. Simple descriptive procedures Introduction The sex composition of an occupation The example data Step 1. Sex composition of occupations Step 2. Distribution of occupations according to percentage female Step 3. Analysis of the extremes Step 4. Analysis of the middle of the distribution Step 5. Further analysis of the middle of the distribution Step 6. Male and female dominance in occupations compared to the sex composition of the employed labour force Step 7. Adding additional information about the labour force Step 8. Using additional information about occupations Step 9. Concentration patterns across time periods A note of caution Conclusion Marginal Matching: A procedure for analysing trends in occupational segregation Introduction Occupational segregation and Marginal Matching : General information Extending the use of the Marginal Matching procedure Summary Instructions for finding the level of occupational segregation Program sets for SPSS A program set for Lotus 1-2-3 Worksheets and definitions of symbols Analysing trends over time SPSS program set 1: Instructions for data where the occupation is the unit of analysis Lotus 1-2-3 program set: Instructions for data where the occupation is the unit of analysis SPSS program set 2: Instructions for data where the individual is the unit of analysis Evaluating measures of gender segregation Gender segregation measures The mathematical forms of the segregation indices The Index of Dissimilarity (ID) The Sex Ratio Index (SR) The WE Index (WE) The Gini Coefficient (G) Segregation measures as statistics of association Marginal Matching (MM) - Mathematical form and relation to Basic Segregation Table Deciding on a measure of occupational gender segregation The conceptualization of occupational segregation, and its relation to the scale of measured values The insensitivity of measured segregation values to factors other than segregation The advantage of Marginal Matching Conclusion Instructions for finding other indices of segregation SPSS program set 1: Instructions for data where the occupation is the unit of analysis Lotus 1-2-3 program set: Instructions for data where the occupation is the unit of analysis SPSS program set 2: Instructions for data where the individual is the unit of analysis References Further reading Boxes 1.
