Abstract

A new index of occupational segregation is proposed, which is related to Gini's Concentration Ratio. An illustration based on French data (1987) indicates that similar conclusions are drawn whether the famous dissimilarity index [Duncan and Duncan (1955)] or the one proposed here is used, but the new index might have some advantage over the one suggested by the Duncans.
