Abstract
In the chapter the horizontal segregation, the dissimilarity in the distribution of the two sexes across scientific fields has been analysed. The results highlight that not only are gender differences evident, but that they follow the stereotypical patterns that can be witnessed in the labour market at large. Alongside the lack of women in engineering, there are high concentration of women in Health and Medical Sciences, in Humanities and in the Social Science in many European countries.File in questo prodotto:
