摘要：
A model of the labour market is developed in which participation rates of men and women, wage rates of men and women and occupational segregation are determined simultaneously. The model is estimated using cross-sectional data from Australia. The most important empirical results are that (a) participation rates, wage rates and occupational segregation should be viewed as being simultaneously determined, (b) differences in male and female labour-force attachment and human capital attainment are important determinants of the gender composition of occupations and (c) there is little direct evidence in this study to support discrimination-based theories of occupational segregation. © 1991, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
