Assesses the effects of family role accumulation, earnings atrophy and occupational choice, occupational segregation, and statistical discrimination in relation to gender inequality in earnings among young adults. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979-1987, provide considerable support for the hypothesis that the effects of current labor force attachment, work experience, and occupational segregation are conditioned by family roles. The negative effects of women's representation within occupations are confined to married parents, although the results for women are consistent with social closure explanations, whereas the results for men are more consistent with status composition explanations of the effects of gender segregation. Analysis also reveals interesting differences in the effects of current and prior labor force attachment that are conditioned by gender and life-course group. The results point to the need for more research that studies the relations hip between labor force activity, occupational segregation, and family roles. 4 Tables, 1 Appendix, 52 References.
