Individual studies and surveys from the literature are complemented with this data to provide a more accurate picture of the nature, pattern, and implications of labour market segmentation along gender lines. The study employs a tabular analysis technique as well as basic statistical techniques. The paper is broken into two sections to reflect the study's broad objectives. The first portion delves into the nature of gender-based labour market segmentation.
