	abstract={In this paper, we analyse the recent patterns of occupational segregation by gender in the EU
countries vis-à-vis the US. Given the lack of long time-series data on homogeneous LFS data
about occupations and educational attainments for male and female workers in EU countries,
we use a single cross section corresponding to 1999 as the basis of comparison, hoping to
uncover convergence trends by examining whether the EU-Us differentials in gender
occupational segregation decline across age cohorts. The main findings of our study are: (i)
gender segregation has been declining across age cohorts in the case of female graduates
and has remained steady for those with lower educational levels; in particular, the level of
segregation for the former group is higher in the EU than in the US; (ii) gender segregation
seems to be positively correlated with the share of part-time jobs; and (iii) there is some
evidence, albeit a weak one, that the gender wage gap and occupational segregation are
positively correlated, particularly when the Scandinavian countries are excluded from the
sample.
