Ocupational segregation in Brazil is analysed focusing Brazilian urban labour force transformations in the period 1950-1970 and the impact of dependent economic growth on the allocation of labour force by sex. 1950 and 1970 Census data referring to men and women participation on the occupational structure and on the economic activities sectorsshow increased occupational segregation during focused period. Data reveal that, although women participation in Brazilian labour force has increased in the last decades, females still concentrate in few traditionally feminine occupations, specially on the tertiary sector. Another important fact during this period is women's gradual exclusion from industrial activities.
