Abstract
This study measures occupational segregation of male and female workers in Pakistan (2013-18) using the labor force survey. The local segregation method reveals that female segregation significantly contributes to overall gender segregation, despite their lower labor force participation. Occupational segregation is higher among elderly workers of both genders. Higher education doesn't reduce segregation. Compensating differentials and devaluation theories partially explain gender segregation in Pakistan.
