abstract: 'Women''s labor market participation in Chile ranks among the lowest in

  Latin America. In a country where over 90 percent of the population

  lives in segregated cities, where employment opportunities cluster in

  affluent neighborhoods, residential sorting has surprisingly been

  neglected as an explanatory factor. This article addresses this omission

  by calculating the effects of residential segregation on labor market

  participation among less-educated caregivers. Using an OLS fixed effects

  model, the study finds that segregation entails adverse spatial mismatch

  effects on labor market participation. No other sub-population is

  affected in this manner. Hence, residential segregation contributes to

  the consolidation of three types of inequalities. First, it reproduces

  gendered inequalities within less-educated households. Second, in the

  context of increasing labor market participation among more-educated

  women, residential segregation further increases inequalities between

  low-income and affluent households. Finally, it deepens geographical

  inequalities between marginalized and non-marginalized households.'
