| Sumario: | This article studies segregation and gender inequality in the labor market of Santiago del Estero during the period 2010-2022. Based on the analysis of census data of 2010 and 2022, the Duncan Segregation Index and the Lorenz Curve are applied to observe how men and women are distributed, concentrated, and participate across different sectors of the economic activity, as well as in the main demographic indicators of the province. The results show an increase in female concentration in historically female-dominated sectors, indicating that patterns of inequality continue to structure the labor market with little progress as to reaching gender equality. The article demonstrates that this horizontal segregation is driven by deeply rooted, sociocultural factors that are beyond the cyclical economic dynamics. It provides an empirical contribution to a peripheral Argentine province, characterized by traditional conservative features, suggesting that over the period, despite the labor policies implemented, gender disparities that structure the labor market, have not been reversed yet. |
