Correlates of Atypical Occupational Assignment Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1972 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Attitudes; Occupational Choice; Occupations, Female Controlling for race and education, the following variables were examined for their association with atypical assignment: marital status, current labor force status, hours usually worked on current or last job, residence at age 14, mother's education, whether or not mother worked when respondent was 14, "cultural exposure," attitude toward mothers working, plans for age 35, and motivation to work. Some evidence--however limited--of the effects of both formative influences and attitudes was found, thus the proposition that atypicality of assignment is entirely a random process, arising out of chance and discontinuous career patterns, was rejected. The effects of the variables appeared selectively across race and education groups. Atypical assignment was found not to be so severely constrained by either background or attitudinal set that entry to atypical occupations should be seriously restricted by those factors. |
