Occupational Segregation and Wages: Is There Long Run Convergence Among Young Male and Female Workers? Presented: Toronto, Canada, Population Association of America Meetings, May 1990 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): College Education; Educational Attainment; Educational Returns; Gender Differences; Mobility; Mobility, Occupational; Occupational Segregation; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data from the NLSY, this study empirically examines occupational and wage mobility of high school and college educated males and females in the first five years after school leaving. College-educated males exhibit the greatest occupational mobility with their movement into management positions. While females, irrespective of educational level, are overwhelmingly employed as clericals throughout the five year period, the movement of high school-educated females into the clerical field suggests that these females will spend nearly half their work lives as clericals. Reflecting this occupational movement, wage growth during the five year period is greatest for college-educated males. College- educated females experienced half as large a growth as their male counterpart and nearly equivalent wage growth as high school-educated males. |
