Perceived Work-Related Discrimination by Women: Implications for Social Justice and Affirmative Action Journal of Policy Practice 6,2 (Summer 2007): 5-22 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Affirmative Action; Human Capital; Schooling; Training, On-the-Job This study used data from the National Longitudinal Survey, Young Women's cohort, to assess the relationship between perceived discrimination and investments in human capital. Nearly 45% of the study sample (N = 654) reported job-related discrimination between 1972 and 2003. Women who perceived work-related discrimination were 1.6 times as likely to complete additional schooling, 2.4 times as likely to participate in occupational training, and nearly twice as likely to participate in on-the-job training (OJT) than those perceiving no such discrimination when controlling for a variety of measures. They also had higher average annual earnings.
