Summary/Abstract: While the first chapter focused on patterns of women’s labour market participation in Brno, providing data on the extent to which women in Brno are active in the labour market, as well as on how this participation differs for different groups of women, the aim of the second chapter is to provide information on the structural context of the patterns identified in the first chapter. After presenting the economic structure of the local labour market and its development, as wellas the educational structure of the labour force in Brno, we will especially focus on discussing the horizontal and vertical segregation of the labour market in Brno and the related gender pay gap. Again, our main source of information is census data, supplemented by data from the labour force survey and other local sources.
