Evaluating and explaining workplace segregation: the Intersection of ethnicity, gender and class
This project focuses on analysing trends in workplace segregation across ethnic, gender, and class lines in Israel's labor market. It aims to identify the factors and processes behind changes in ethnic-gender-class workplace segregation patterns that occurred between 90th and 2020th, which is crucial for understanding labor market inequalities. The study utilises unique linked employer-employee data from 1990th to 2020th, combined with various national registers and surveys.
The project provides detailed description of the workplace segregation phenomenon in Israel and considers both demand-side and supply-side explanations for the observed segregation trends, applying longitudinal multilevel analysis. This comprehensive approach is vital for understanding the mechanisms of workplace segregation, informing policies, and shaping organizational practices aimed at creating a more equitable and inclusive labor market. As segregation drives a significant share of income inequality, such efforts are not only a matter of social justice but are also crucial for reducing economic disparities between groups of workers and fostering economic growth.

About the researchers
Dr. Luda Garmash
Ludmila (Luda) Garmash is a sociologist currently affiliated with the Demography Lab at TAU, where she serves as a postdoctoral fellow under Prof. Isaac Sasson's mentorship.
Her primary research interests revolve around the labor market and organizational inequalities, with a focus on the intersections of ethno-national, gender, and class stratification, which result in unique labor market experiences for various status groups. In her dissertation, she delved into the phenomenon of workplace segregation in Israel and linked the demographic composition of workplaces with the compensation inequality generation processes within them. Her doctoral research received support from two significant grants: the ERC Starting Grant "The Resurgence in Wage Inequality and Technological Change: A New Approach." (Project principal investigator Prof. Tali Kristal) and a Research Grant from the National Insurance Institute.
