Sex Differences in Union Membership: The Impact of Occupation and Industry Proceedings, Business and Economic Statistics Section, American Statistical Association, Part_II (1977): 496-500 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: American Statistical Association Keyword(s): Collective Bargaining; Discrimination, Sex; Industrial Sector; Part-Time Work; Unions Results confirm the hypothesis that the occupational and industrial distribution explains a significant portion of the male-female unionization gap. The role of the occupational distribution is largely independent of any variation in either human capital or the incidence of part-time work. A substantial part of the male-female unionization gap remains unexplained. Omitted variables undoubtedly account for a portion of the remaining differential. No measures of sex discrimination by unions or systematic male-female differences in tastes for unionization are available. An additional difficulty may be inadequate control for sex differences in the occupational distribution, due to the highly aggregated nature of our variables. In spite of these deficiencies, the explanatory power of occupation and industry is impressive. |
