We Want to Hear from You!

“Occupational segregation” is the gendered sorting of men and women into di erent types of jobs. It leads to women being
overrepresented in certain jobs, which are valued and compensated less than male-dominated jobs.
We’ve heard from many working women about their experiences with gendered job expectations, the challenges they face at
work, the support systems that help them thrive and the policy changes that would help them succeed. We'd like to hear from
you.
