Abstract
Industry-level determination of occupational segregation by sex is predicted in differing manners by split labor market, class conflict, and industrial organization theory. This paper analyzes data from 160 census industrial classifications in an attempt to assess these alternative predictions. The findings show that the degree of market power in an industry is associated positively with the level of occupational segregation, the degree of unionization is associated negatively with this level, and "classically capitalist" organization of an industry is unrelated to it. These results are interpreted as providing qualified support for the industrial organization theory.
