This paper aims at assessing occupational gender segregation evolution during early careers and its links with gender wage gap. Among people having experienced ten years on the labour market, occupational gender segregation has slightly increased, occupations characterized by an educative-led segregation have a reduced impact, and the wage gap has increased on average. Focusing on a few typical and revealing occupations, the analysis shows that women wage situation worsens. However, links between occupational gender segregation and female wage discrimination differ across occupations.
