===== Definition =====

Sectoral gender segregation refers to the phenomenon where certain industries or sectors of the economy are predominantly dominated by either men or women. This segregation occurs due to various factors such as societal norms, cultural beliefs, discrimination, and limited access to educational and economic opportunities.

For example, sectors such as construction, engineering, and technology are typically male-dominated, while sectors like healthcare, education, and social services are often female-dominated. This segregation can lead to unequal opportunities, pay disparities, and limited career advancement for individuals based on their gender.

Efforts to reduce sectoral gender segregation include promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace, providing equal access to education and training programs, and implementing policies that address gender-based discrimination and biases. By breaking down barriers and promoting fair opportunities for all individuals, we can work towards a more equitable and inclusive society.
