Applying multinomial logit regressions, and controlling for individual and job characteristics, the results confirm the typical finding that having a university degree decreases the odds of working in a gender-dominated occupation. However, this is only true in the case of women when considering long—more than 3 years—university studies. The evidence also suggests that the general spread of over-education in Spain weakens that relationship so that reducing over-education would eventually lead to more uniformity in the gender-distribution of employment across occupations.2015http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/6433410.1007/s11205-014-0811-7http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/64334oai:zaguan.unizar.es:64334info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S13info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/UZ2012-SOC-03SOCIAL INDICATORS RESEARCH 124, 3 (2015), 807-833All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
