Abstract
Article investigates the characteristics of gender differences between professional settings of the performing musicians, actors and dancers from the mid-1980s to 2000. Results show that women's careers become more vulnerable with passing time. Musicians are the only category for which we found a purely gender-related discrimination effect. Conversely, when working conditions (working sector, characteristics of domestic life) are controlled for, no specific gender effect can be observed in the acting or dance profession..
