Abstract

Gender equality in employment is considered to be an important driving force of social and economic development, and also an important symbol of social civilization. To achieve gender equality in employment is a topic that the academic circles have been keen to study and discuss. However, due to the influence of occupational characteristics and concepts, gender employment inequality has always existed. Based on the trend and characteristics of occupational gender segregation and income gap, this study outlines the development of occupational gender segregation and its impact on income gap since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and explores the issue of gender employment heterogeneity. Based on this, we can understand the gender employment balance in the labor market and promote the balanced and sustainable development of the labor market.
