| Popis: | The purpose of this article is to determine whether there is a relationship between the proportion of women working in an occupation and the prestige assigned to that occupation. Based on a representative sample of Spanish employees from the Spanish Quality of Working Life Survey, pooled-sample data (2007–2010) are used to show that occupations with larger shares of women present lower prestige, controlling for a set of objective individual and work-related variables, and self-assessed indicators of working conditions. However, the results obtained do not support the devaluation theory since an inverted-U relationship between female share and occupational prestige is observed. This conclusion holds even after passing a battery of robustness checks. |
