abstract: 'Perales F. and Vidal S. Looking inwards: towards a geographically

  sensitive approach to occupational sex segregation, Regional Studies.

  This article questions implicit assumptions in the literature and

  explores the issue of occupational sex segregation from a geographical

  standpoint. Specifically, variation in the gender compositions of

  occupations, the degree of occupational sex dissimilarity, and the

  impact of occupational feminization on wages across local labour markets

  in England and Wales is uncovered and explained. These findings imply

  that occupational sex segregation and its outcomes are contingent on the

  local context, that policies aimed at achieving gender equality at work

  should be channelled through local authorities, and that further

  research should be devoted to exploring systematically the multiple

  intersections between geographical space and gender equality at work.'
