1.	A Note on Young Women's Occupational Expectations for Age 35 Vocational Guidance Quarterly (1980) Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: American Counseling Association Keyword(s): College Graduates; Occupational Aspirations; Occupations, Female; Occupations, Male; Vocational Guidance This analysis examines women's occupational preferences for age 35. Only a quarter of college educated women and less than 20 per cent of non-college women preferred typically male occupations. The results also show that the number and types of occupations, regardless of sex-typing, to which young women aspire are limited. Furthermore, occupational projections show that demand-supply relationship for workers in many of their preferred occupations, both male and female, are to be unfavorable. Thus, if women are to choose male-dominated occupations, public policy directed at reducing demand-side barriers is not enough. It will also be necessary to broaden young women's awareness of the range of jobs available and of the employment prospects in occupations they are considering.

2.	Career Aspirations of Young Women: Factors Underlying Choice of a Typically Male or Female Occupation Proceedings, Social Statistics Section, American Statistical Association (1978): 50-59 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: American Statistical Association Keyword(s): Career Patterns; College Education; Educational Attainment; Family Influences; Occupational Aspirations; Work History This paper examines the personal characteristics which influence a young woman's preference for typically male or typically female occupations. Preference formation is apparently different for women who have had or plan to have a college education and those without such expectations. The results indicate that family background is only slightly associated with occupational choice. Education, marital and childrearing experience, and labor market experience later in life have a more significant impact on whether typical or atypical occupations are chosen than childhood environment influences.

Washington, DC: US GPO, 1978. Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Children; College Education; Educational Attainment; Job Training; Marital Disruption; Migration; Occupational Aspirations; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Unemployment Also published as: Published as: Women, Work, and Family. Lexington, MA: Lexington Books, 1978. This monograph describes the changes both in the attitudes of women toward working outside the home and in their actual participation in the work force. It is based on a five-year longitudinal study of more than 5, 000 women aged 14 to 24 when first interviewed. Based on a comprehensive set of data obtained through personal interviews with a national sample of young women over the period 1968 to 1973, these studies focus either on aspects of the labor market experience of the current generation of young women or on facets of their lives that have substantial relationships to their labor market activity. Included are: preparation for the world of work-college attendance; labor force dynamics associated with withdrawal from and reentry into the labor force due to childbirth; the characteristics of young women that are associated with the choice of an "atypical," or "male" occupation; whether investment in on-the-job training is related to an expectation of long-term attachment to the labor force; some of the causes as well as the consequences of migration for the economic welfare of young women and their families; some of the determinants of marital disruption, and also the short- run economic consequences for women and children.
