Abstract

The article addresses the observation of different occupational paths for women and men on the German labour market. First, recent data showing the extent of this (horizontal) occupational gender segregation are presented for Germany and separated between East and West Germany. Here we use the new occupational classification of the German Federal Statistical Office, version 2010. Second, possible implications of the segregation are discussed, focusing on its remarkable persistence over time. This discussion starts with the observation of frequent occupational changes from gender-atypical to gender typical occupations over the individual life course. Research from the USA explains this “revolving door” effect with mechanisms of “social control” within working life. Considering institutional and social psychological approaches in gender research, we present the state of research addressing the German labour market with respect to these mechanisms. Furthermore, differences between East and West Germany concerning the “revolving door” are introduced and discussed.
