Description
This book tries to find evidence for sex segregation if any, among the faculty positions in the higher education sector of India. In some sectors like corporate, the presence of a glass ceiling and leaky pipeline prevents women from going higher up in the career ladder. On the other hand, gender essentialist theory plays a role in making the primary and secondary teaching professions, a female-dominated sector. Very few studies have analyzed sex segregation in the higher education sector pertaining to India. This study analyses available AISHE data using quantitative descriptive analysis and attempts to interpret the findings based on existing theories of sex segregation in occupation.
