The Flip Side of Gender Segregation
Despite women's growing presence in male‐dominated occupations, men remain underrepresented in female‐typed occupations. This imbalance is commonly attributed to three factors: (1) the confinement of female‐typed occupations to a narrow range of stereotypical domains, (2) their lower socioeconomic rewards, and (3) the stigma men face in gender‐atypical roles. However, existing evidence—primarily qualitative or based on single countries and few oc…
The uneven effects of gender parity
This study examines gender collaboration patterns across male-dominated, gender-neutral, and female-dominated fields. Using data from the Web of Science, we investigate how the increasing participation of women in research affects gender homophily in scientific collaborations. Our analysis covers articles indexed from 1980 to 2019, encompassing 15,642 journals, 28,241,100 articles, and 111,980,858 authorships across 153 research areas. We find th…
Progressive pollen calendar to detect long-term changes in the biological air quality of cities in the Madrid Region, Spain
Rhinoconjunctivitis and allergic asthma are among the most frequent diseases in the world, and pollen is their main cause. The incidence of respiratory allergic diseases is expected to grow in the coming years as a consequence of ambient pollution, changes in land use and land cover in cities, and climate change. In this context of global change, the environmental information provided by monitoring and warning networks must be as updated as possi…
Multidimensional domestic gender inequality and the global diffusion of women’s ministries, 1975–2015
Since the 1970s, many countries have passed policy and institutional reforms to promote gender equality and the wellbeing of women. The global diffusion of gender and women’s ministries constitutes a manifestation of this process. However, our understanding of the diffusion of this organizational form is very limited. To fill this gap, we examine the adoption of cabinet-level, women’s ministries worldwide, between 1975 and 2015. Our argument buil…
Women in the New Labor Activism
The gender gap in union membership rates has narrowed considerably in the last decades. How is this change related to women's attitudes toward unions? What is the profile of women who support union activism? Are there reasons to believe that women's support will continue to increase over time? Using data from the General Social Survey, I examine women's attitudes toward trade unions between 2002 and 2021. Data shows that support for unions is hig…
The crown
The distinction between constitutional monarchies and republics constitutes a striking divide in how modern democracies are institutionalized. However, the lack of data about citizens' preferences for a monarchic or republican model of democracy has hindered the analysis of public opinion about this topic. This research note introduces a comprehensive survey that gauges citizens' attitudes towards the monarchy in Spain. The survey was fielded in …
The Gender Mobility Paradox
In this article, we examine trends in women's mobility among male-dominated, gender-neutral, and female-dominated occupations. Earlier research, largely employing data from the 1970s and early 1980s, showed that along with significant net movement by women into male-dominated fields, there was also substantial attrition from male-dominated occupations. Here, we build on previous research by examining how 'gender-type' mobility rates have changed …
Women in Blue
The number of women occupying male-dominated blue-collar jobs continues to be very low. This study examines segregation in the blue-collar trades, taking into consideration both structural and individual factors. Using nationally representative data for 25 countries, the study shows that segregation in the blue-collar sector does not vary with the strength of vocational education and training programs. At the individual level, findings reveal hig…
Stopgappers? The Occupational Trajectories of Men in Female-Dominated Occupations
This study examines the determinants of men's exit from female-dominated occupations. Using census data and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data set, the author analyzes the job history of men employed in the United States between 1979 and 2006. Supporting the theoretical model, evidence indicates a group of stopgappers-men entering female-dominated occupations and leaving soon after their entry, thereby contributing to the perpetuation…
Queremos más o menos? Desencuentros entre las horas de trabajo que tenemos y las que preferimos en España, 2005-2014
Los desajustes entre el número de horas que la gente trabaja y el que desearía trabajar son frecuentes y tienen importantes consecuencias para la vida individual, familiar y organizativa. Este trabajo contribuye a la investigación sobre los efectos de la crisis económica en la calidad del trabajo. A partir de datos de la Encuesta Española de Población Activa (LFS) entre 2005 y 2014, este estudio testa tres escenarios alternativos sobre las tenden…
Different Contexts and Trends
This article provides the first cross‐national assessment of Latina immigrant fertility trends. Specifically, we compare Ecuadorian women in Spain (EiS) to Mexican women in the United States (Mi US ). We focus on these two groups because they (1) have similar socio‐economic profiles and (2) are the largest Latina subgroups in their respective host countries. We show that since 2001, the fertility rate of EiS has declined substantially more than t…
Attrition from Male-dominated Occupations
Women in male-dominated occupations remain at a considerable risk of attrition. This study examines both the consequences of being an occupational minority and the effect of occupational attributes on women's exit from male-dominated occupations. Drawing on prior theories and empirical studies, I argue that women in high-status occupations are better prepared than women in low-status occupations to overcome obstacles derived from their minority s…
