An index devised by T. Karmel and M. MacLachlan (1988) is extended to measure the relative contributions of different occupational groups to the level and change in overall occupational sex segregation in Britain. Sexual stereotyping is shown to persist in clerical, service and sales, and blue collar skilled occupations, which remain highly segregated. Professional and managerial occupations have the lowest level of segregation and have integrated at the fastest rate. The rate of integration is strongly procyclical. Full-time employment has integrated faster than total employment over the upturn. Policy implications are drawn in the final section. Copyright 1993 by Oxford University Press.
