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. |
