Workforce Profile - Occupational Segregation

In general women and men tend to be clustered into different occupations and sectors.

There are many factors which underlie this segregation including stereotyping about men and
women’s  capabilities  and  skills;  the  culture  associated  with  different  types  of  work;  and
access to training courses and apprenticeships.

Although job segregation restricts choices for men and women, the jobs which are most likely
to be done by women are also those that are associated with low pay and limited possibilities
for progression. These are sometimes referred to the ‘5 Cs’ – cleaning, catering, cashiering,
clerical  work  and  caring.  To  assess  if  this  is  the  case  at  the  council,  job  roles  within  the
council  have  been  grouped  using  the  standard  occupational  classification  2010  (SOC2010)
Major Groups used by the Office for National Statistics.

A summary of these groups is outlined below:


General   nature   of   qualifications,   training   and   experience   for
Major group
occupations in the major group
Managers,
A  significant  amount  of  knowledge  and  experience  of  the  production
directors and
processes  and  service  requirements  associated  with  the  efficient
senior officials
functioning of organisations and businesses.
Professional
A  degree  or  equivalent  qualification,  with  some  occupations  requiring
occupations
postgraduate   qualifications   and/or   a   formal   period   of   experience-
related training.
Associate
An  associated  high-level  vocational  qualification,  often  involving  a
professional and
substantial period of full-time training or further study.  Some additional
technical
task-related  training  is  usually  provided  through  a  formal  period  of
occupations
induction.
Administrative and  A good standard of general education.  Certain occupations will require
secretarial
further  additional  vocational  training  to  a  well-defined  standard  (e.g.
occupations
office skills).
Skilled trades
A  substantial  period  of  training,  often  provided  by  means  of  a  work
occupations
based training programme.
Caring, leisure and  A good standard of general education. Certain occupations will require
other service
further  additional  vocational  training,  often  provided  by  means  of  a
occupations
work-based training programme.
Sales and customer A  general  education  and  a  programme  of  work-based  training  related
service
to  Sales  procedures.  Some  occupations  require  additional  specific
occupations
technical  knowledge  but  are  included  in  this  major  group  because  the
primary task involves selling.
Process, plant and  The  knowledge  and  experience  necessary  to  operate  vehicles  and
machine operatives other   mobile   and   stationary   machinery,   to   operate   and   monitor
industrial  plant  and  equipment,  to  assemble  products  from  component
parts  according  to  strict  rules  and  procedures  and  subject  assembled
parts to routine tests. Most occupations in this major group will specify
a minimum standard of competence for associated tasks and will have
a related period of formal training.
Elementary
Occupations  classified  at  this  level  will  usually  require  a  minimum
occupations
general level of education (that is, that which is acquired by the end of
the  period  of  compulsory  education). Some  occupations  at  this  level
will  also  have  short  periods  of  work-related  training  in  areas  such  as
health and safety, food hygiene, and customer service requirements.
