Job segregation: female-typed jobs have lower pay and prestige than male jobs, there is less female type than male type jobs creates pink collar ghettos. Most of the jobs that are thought as women"s work are public jobs, could explain why there is more women unionized than men. e. g. secondary and elementary teachers, nursing, health support staff, social and service workers, health technicians number of unionized male workers dropped and unionized women workers increase and that"s not because more women joined unions, it"s because the number of unionized men dropped.
