Who is the Occupational Segregation poster for?
Occupational Segregation belongs to the Sociology section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning stratification & inequality can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Occupational Segregation poster?
When a workforce is equal in numbers but not in where those numbers sit. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Occupational Segregation belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Occupational Segregation?
The Gender Pay Gap, Class Schemes and Cultural Capital at Work sit alongside Occupational Segregation in the Sociology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.The Gender Pay GapClass SchemesCultural Capital at Work
Is the Occupational Segregation poster free to download and print?
Yes. Occupational Segregation downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Sociology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Occupational Segregation poster print at?
Occupational Segregation is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Occupational Segregation loses nothing.Printing guide
