Income Differences Between Men and Career Women American Journal of Sociology 78,4 (January 1973): 962-974. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2776614 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: University of Chicago Press Keyword(s): Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Earnings; Educational Attainment; Income Distribution; Occupational Status; Work Experience The analysis of incomes for men and women 30-44 years old in 1967 presented in this paper shows that by considering only educational level, occupational status, and work experience, the income level for women can be predicted more confidently than for men. Women's pay is commensurate with effort and education, but incomes tend to cluster around the average rather than varying widely around the regression line. The absence of marked variation means that most women were receiving "just average" wages, regardless of training, job status, or experience. The income distribution of men, on the other hand, tends to be skewed toward higher income levels. |
