Description:

This report examines the extent of occupational segregation by gender and how it impacts on the quality of women's and men's working lives. The analysis is based on findings from the fourth European Working Conditions Survey carried out across 31 countries, including the 27 EU Member States. The report highlights differences between men and women in key aspects of job quality, such as working hours, job satisfaction, work&em;life compatibility and work-related health outcomes.
