(IN) VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION

A Multilevel Analysis of Gender Segregation in Voluntary Organizations

PAMELA A. POPIELARZ

University of Illinois at Chicago

Using a unique data set, the author investigates gender segregation in voluntary organizations. Results indicate that (1) women are more likely than men to belong to gender-segregated groups and (2) women's groups primarily restrict members to contact with persons of the same age, education, and marital and work status. The article ends with a discussion of how segregated voluntary associations help perpetuate a social world that is substantially ordered by gender.
