This study examines the determinants of two aspects of occupations which have been found to have important influences on female wages: the skill level associated with the occupation and the sex composition of the occupation (typically female versus male or integrated). Using a log-linear probability technique and data from the NLS Young Women cohort, hypotheses drawn from the economic and sociological literature are tested.
