Occupational Attainment Processes of Mature American Women Ph.D. Dissertation, University of California - Los Angeles, 1976 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Family Background and Culture; Occupational Status; Schooling; Socioeconomic Status (SES) This research examines the determinants of occupational achievement among American working women. Of particular interest is the question of race and sex differences in achievement processes as specified by a basic attainment model incorporating social origins, education, and career beginnings. The implications of women's unique family roles, responsibilities, and resources for job success are explored. To gauge the influence of economic context on career beginnings, the opportunity structure afforded by hometown and by historical circumstances is considered. |
