摘要：
This paper demonstrates the weaknesses of the two principal measures used in British occupational segregation research-the index of dissimilarity and the sex ratio index. It takes a fresh look at the conceptual and statistical issues involved and proposes a solution through a new approach using marginal matching. Contrary to the findings of previous researchers, the analysis of British census data reveals that there has been little change in segregation levels between 1951 and 1981 in England and Wales.
