This study untangles the complex interplay of individual and contextual factors shaping cross-national differences in horizontal and vertical occupational sex segregation. It relates the individual factors affecting occupational decisions to the broader social and economic context within a given society. Following this approach, Stephanie Steinmetz provides a comprehensive overview of the development and causes of cross-national differences in occupational sex segregation. She offers insights into the positioning of 21 EU Members States, particularly of former CCE countries. Based on advanced multi-level models, the study shows that institutional factors, such as the organization of educational systems, post-industrial developments, social policies, and the national ‘gender culture’, play a crucial role in shaping sex segregation processes apart from individual factors. The author clarifies that a distinct set of institutional factors is relevant to each of the two dimensions of occupational sex segregation and that these factors operate in different directions: some reduce horizontal segregation while at the same time aggravating the vertical aspect. Finally, the study assesses the empirical findings from a political perspective by addressing the future contextual challenges of EU Member States seeking to attain higher gender equality on the labour market.

'Fabricage van verschillen' behandelt de ongelijke verdeling van mannen en vrouwen over beroepen en functies in de Nederlandse industrie tussen 1850 en 1940, en het daaruit voortvloeiende verschil in beloning. Telkens weer blijkt dat banen van vrouwen niet alleen slechter worden betaald, maar ook een lagere maatschappelijke status hebben en minder carrièremogelijkheden bieden dan banen van mannen. Ook de arbeidsomstandigheden van vrouwen zijn in het algemeen slechter dan die van mannen. In het boek wordt ervan uitgegaan dat de typering van werk als mannen- of vrouwenwerk niet gebonden is aan specifieke mannelijke of vrouwelijke eigenschappen of kwalificaties zoals fysieke kracht of scholingsgraad, maar aan de sociale constructie van sekse in de praktijk van het arbeidsproces. Het onderzoek belicht zowel de horizontale segregatie (ongelijke verdeling over verschillende bedrijfstakken) als de verticale segregatie (ongelijke verdeling van posities binnen een bedrijf). Voor het onderzoek op bedrijfstakniveau werden vier bedrijfstakken gekozen: de sigaren-, de kleding-, de schoenen- en de textielindustrie. Op bedrijfsniveau werd de verticale segregatie in detail onderzocht voor vier bedrijven.
