Eileen Y. Suh, Evan Apfelbaum, Michael Norton (2025).  How psychological barriers constrain men’s interest in gender-atypical jobs and facilitate occupational segregation

“Scholarship regarding occupational gender segregation has almost exclusively focused on women’s experiences (e.g., as targets of discrimination in masculine domains), yet understanding factors that perpetuate men’s underrepresentation in traditionally feminine occupations is equally important. We examine a consequential dynamic early in the job search process in which individuals come to learn that an occupation that fits them is perceived as feminine versus masculine. “(Organization Science).
