Occupational Differentiation among White Men in the First Decade after High School Journal of Vocational Behavior 19,3 (December 1981): 251-289. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0001879181900634 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Family Influences; I.Q.; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Results from an examination of the rate at which occupational differentiation proceeds among young white men (16- 28) suggest that the rate of labor force participation stabilizes in the early twenties, differentiation among men by education and the distribution of men among different broad levels and fields of work stabilizes by the mid twenties, and the sorting of men with different socioeconomic backgrounds into different occupational groups continues through the late twenties at which age it appears to have been largely completed. Although socioeconomic background helps to differentiate men in various fields and levels of work, academic achievement is the major dimension by which men are sorted. |
