ABSTRACT ▼
The focus of the presented study is to identify the extent, nature of changes and determinants of professional gender segregation in the Ukrainian labor market, as well as to search for effective ways of equalizing gender disparities in the opportunities and
results of male and female employment.
The analysis of the gender professional structure of employment of the opulation
of Ukraine, as well as the concentration of men and women in different occupational groups made it possible to reveal asymmetry in gender based distribution of work, as well as to identify the so-called " female " and " male " types of employment. In ad-
dition, it was established to what extent gender groups were involved in the overall shifts in the professional composition of this country's labor force.
With the use of Duncan Dissimilarity Index, the author traces how changes in
population employment have manifested themselves in the dynamics of the level of occupational gender segregation in the Ukrainian labor market.
It was found that the increase in the level of occupational gender segregation, which occurred during the period of study period, was caused by shifts in the general structure of occupations, while changes in the occupational concentration of men
and women somewhat mitigated the gender imbalances.
It is shown that employment in Ukraine is gender segregated not only horizontally but also vertically and the author estimates the vertical gender segregation. Identified the determinants of vertical professional distribution of men and women. And the distribution of the influence of the workers' personal characteristics and their workplace parameters on the probability of job promotion with the consequences of
discrimination in the domestic labor market made it possible to establish that the barriers to women's career growth are largely related to prejudiced attitudes and gender stereotypes about kinds of job suitable for women.
Defined possible guidelines for equalizing the identified gender imbalances in employment and ensuring equal opportunities for men and women in the sphere of labor.
