Race and Sex Differences in Career Dynamics American Sociological Review 45,4 (August 1980): 583-609. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2095010 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Educational Attainment; Family Background and Culture; Job Training; Marital Status; Racial Differences; Sex Roles; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Wage Levels; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this paper, career differences by race and sex are analyzed. Careers are defined as trajectories of socioeconomic status and wages and are described by a linear differential equation model. It is assumed that the different groups defined by race and sex tend to be in different labor markets and economic sectors and to face different opportunity structures even within labor market divisions. This assumption guides predictions for and interpretation of results with respect to various aspects of career inequality: initial status and wage level; potential status and wage levels; effects of human capital, family background, and family of procreation variables on initial and potential wage and status levels; and speed of advancement. Pooling of cross-sections and time- series techniques are used to estimate the model, with data from the NLS of Young Men and Women. |
