Incorporating Occupational Attainment in Studies of Male-Female Earnings Differentials Journal of Human Resources 15,1 (Winter 1980): 3-28. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145344 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Discrimination, Sex; Earnings; Occupational Attainment; White Collar Jobs This study focuses on determining the extent to which differences between males and females in hourly wages are due to differences in occupational distribution versus unequal pay within occupational categories, and to what extent these differences in occupation and wages are explainable by differences between the sexes in observed attributes. The results show that only 14 to 17 percent of the total wage differential is attributable to differences in endowments. Most of the unexplained difference in overall wages arises from unexplained differences in wages within the broad occupational categories rather than from unexplained differences in occupational distributions. |

Occupational Attainment and Segregation by Sex Industrial and Labor Relations Review 33,4 (July 1980): 506-517. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2522696 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University Keyword(s): Discrimination, Sex; Occupational Attainment; Occupational Segregation; Occupations, Female; Occupations, Male The authors use multinomial logit and multiple discriminant analyses to predict the probabilities that an individual will attain each of several occupational categories based on the individual's characteristics and qualifications. By estimating the parameters of this model from a sample of men and then applying them to a sample of women, the authors simulate the occupational distribution that these women would have attained had they been treated as if they were men. Even after making adjustments for taste differences between men and women, the authors find that their hypothetical results vary substantially from women's actual occupational distribution. They conclude that a significant proportion of occupational segregation by sex can be attributed to discrimination. |
