Overview

Analysis reveals polarized gender segregation patterns in the care economy and technology sector, suggesting urgent recruitment reforms.

Key Points

  • Intensifying gender imbalance is evident in market-based care activities, highlighting systemic issues in labour force dynamics.
  • Men are increasingly absent in care fields while women in technology face stagnant representation, particularly in computing and engineering.
  • Sector-specific analyses show that despite efforts, changes in gender representation remain limited, especially in the tech sector.
  • Recruitment initiatives need to be targeted and thoughtful to effectively address gender disparities in specific occupations.
