Occupation Segregation among Immigrants in Japan: Using Custom-Made Census Data in 2010

As summarized in “Occupational Segregation by Education and Gender in Japan: Focusing on Employment Status and Marital Status” chapter of this book, Charles and Grusky (2004) and Oda et al. (2014) have pointed to occupational segregation by gender in postindustrial societies. Their paradox that ascription becomes more salient in a society with meritocracy has been confirmed in the previous chapters of this book.
