This dissertation consists of three papers. The first paper examines the impact of inter-firm mobility on wage trajectories of three birth cohorts of young male workers, focusing on how the relationship between mobility and wages has changed from 1965-2013. A key element of this analysis is exploring how occupational mobility might moderate the impact of inter-firm mobility on wages. A second element of this analysis examines how educational attainment moderates the impact of inter-firm mobility on wages and how this may have changed over time, concurrent with rising wage returns to education. The second paper also examines the relationship between inter-firm mobility and wages and the extent to which occupational mobility and educational attainment might moderate this impact. The second paper takes a life course perspective, examining a single cohort of men and women from ages 18-55, over the years 1979-2012. This paper explores the extent to which the relationships between inter-firm mobility, occupational mobility, education and wages vary over the life course, as a function of the duration of time since the mobility event and between men and women. This paper also explores the extent to which gender differences are due to the behavior and treatment of individual women and men as well as opposed to their occupational location in the labor market. The third paper examines the extent to which mobility by women between occupations with different levels of female representation have changed over time since 1965. The paper explores transitions between 'male dominated,' 'female dominated' and 'integrated' occupations as well as transitions between occupations of any degree of gender representation to other occupations with a varying greater or lesser degrees of gender representation than the first. The paper uses 4 birth cohorts of women, with a range of birth years from 1923-1984, analyzing data from 1965-2013. The paper analyzes the extent to which the probability of the various transitions as well as the relationship between education level and the probability of specific transitions has changed over time. In addition, the paper explores the relationship between macro-economic conditions and the likelihood of these transitions. |
