Atypicality of Occupational Attainment: Preemployment Aspirations, Parental Role Modeling and Work Experience American Sociological Association, 1988 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Employment; Family Background and Culture; Occupational Aspirations; Occupational Attainment; Parental Influences; Role Models; Sociability/Socialization/Social Interaction; Transition, School to Work Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper presents an examination of the relevance of the socialization perspective, particularly aspirations and parental role modeling, for understanding sex-type of first full-time civilian job after leaving full-time education and current job. Data were drawn from the 1966-1980 NLS, with the sample restricted to whites aged 14-18 who were enrolled full time at the initial survey date-1966 for men and 1968 for women. The general conceptual framework is derived from the status attainment literature. Major elaborations include marital/family and work histories, with attention to the sequencing of these experiences before and after their first job. While the greatest direct influence of family background and aspirations is shown, as expected, to be on first job, it is important to evaluate indirect influence, through first job, on subsequent work and family life history experiences.

Occupational Sex Segregation and Mobility: The Early Careers of White Women and Men Presented: Toronto, Canada, Population Association of America Meetings, May 1990 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Dual Economic Theory; Duncan Index; Gender Differences; Mobility; Mobility, Occupational; Occupational Prestige; Occupational Segregation; Occupational Status; Occupations, Female Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data from the NLS of Young Men and Young Women, this study examines the link between occupational sex segregation and the early career mobility of young white women and men who began their careers in the early 1970s. For the substantial majority of women and men who remain within the sex sector of their initial job, employment in female occupations significantly reduces opportunities for mobility and provides less reward for initial education. The more limited mobility of women is related not only to their initial concentration in female occupations, but also to barriers that limit subsequent access to and retention in the more favorable opportunity structure associated with male occupations. The process of attainment is fundamentally altered when individuals change sex sectors with the status of first job being unrelated to later occupational achievement. The disruption of this link points to the importance of considering occupational sex segregation when studying labor market segmentation.

Sex-type of Parental Occupations and Sex-Typed Occupational Aspirations: Factors Affecting the Sex-typed Occupational Attainments of Young White Women and Men Ph.D. Dissertation, Fordham University, 1989.DAI-A 49/12, p. 3888, June 1989 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Bias Decomposition; Family Background and Culture; Fathers, Influence; Human Capital; Occupational Aspirations; Occupational Attainment; Occupations, Non-Traditional; Parental Influences; Role Models; Sex Roles This research focuses on the differing socialization experience of women and men as a factor in the occupational attainment process. Specifically, this study examines the role of socioeconomic family background characteristics, particularly parental role modeling as exemplified by the sex-type of parent's occupation, and atypicality of occupational aspirations, on atypicality of first job as well as that occupation held in the final survey year. Using data drawn from the surveys of Young Women and Young Men in the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience, a sample of white 14 to 18 year old women and men is followed from the initial survey year, when they were still enrolled full-time in school, to the last survey year--14 years later. During this time, the men and women left full-time education, began their first full-time civilian occupations, adopted marital/family roles and accumulated work experience. The study makes use of a theoretical model drawn from status attainment and human capital studies of occupational attainment. Given the findings generated by the above schools, this research incorporates measures of socioeconomic family background characteristics and aspirations, as well as measures of human capital qualifications and labor market commitment, as factors which impact on the occupational attainment process of men and women. Family background characteristics are found to influence atypical attainment. Father's atypicality directly influences son's entry-level atypical employment, whereas mother's atypicality has a direct influence on daughter's atypical current achievements. This offers confirmation of the importance of family background characteristics in atypical attainment and specifically offers evidence supporting a same-sex role model effect. Moreover, pre-employment aspirations play an important role in the atypical attainment process of women and men. Atypicality of occupational aspirations has significant direct effects on both entry-level and on current atypical occupational attainment for both sexes. The importance of nontraditional aspirations for atypicality of first job and for subsequent atypical attainment approximately 14 years later supports the contention that the sex-type of pre-employment aspirations does contribute significantly to the explanation of sex-typed occupational attainment.
