Findings indicate that the lower economic status of black women is caused by lower human capital accumulation and less prestigious occupations. Black women partially compensate for such deficiencies by achieving a higher rate of wage return on their human capital and occupational status they obtain. The results show that work experience does influence differential wage returns to schooling for blacks and occupational status for blacks and whites. In addition, the analyses provide support for an occupational decision-making explanation which contributes to observed differentials in wage returns to schooling.

Labor Market Structure and Sex Differences in Occupational Careers
Presented: Chicago, IL, American Statistical Association Annual Meetings, 1977
Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men, Young Men, Young Women
Publisher: American Statistical Association
Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Children; Earnings; Life Cycle Research; Marital Status; Mobility, Job; Schooling; Socioeconomic Status (SES)

Results suggest the utility of a career concept for understanding the variety of factors that affect the distribution of socioeconomic rewards to individuals over their employment lifecycles. We have found evidence for the varying impact of labor market characteristics and family status, as well as personal resources, for men and women and across stages of the life cycle.

A Longitudinal Model of Sex-Role Attitudes, Labor Force Participation and Childbearing
Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1981
Cohort(s): Young Women
Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research
Keyword(s): Childbearing; Fertility; Husbands, Influence; Sex Roles

This study analyzes the over time interrelationships among sex role attitudes, women's labor force participation, and fertility. Sex-role attitudes and employment have a positive effect on the work decision. However, prior sex-role orientations have no significant subsequent influence on childbearing. Since there is a correlation between labor force participation and fertility, an indirect relationship between sex-role attitudes and fertility may be inferred. The husband's perception concerning the work decision is a significant factor which influences childbearing.

Wage Change in the Late Career: A Model for the Outcomes of Job Sequences
Social Science Research 8,1 (March 1979): 16-40.

This paper elaborates a model for the outcomes of job sequences and illustrates its utility by an empirical analysis of the determinants of wage change for men in their late careers. We argue that job sequences represent the basic components of careers and that a focus on these sequences is useful for explaining the determinants of socioeconomic inequality over the life cycle. Our model permits us to estimate the effects on wage change of a wide array of personal resources and measures of the opportunity structure. We further assess how these types of factors differentially affect wage change for various patterns of labor market behavior and for blacks vs. whites. Our empirical analysis of data from the NLS of Older Men suggests the importance of patterns of job sequences for wage change and for the explanation of racial differentials in career advancement.

Sex-Role Attitudes and Employment Among Women: Dynamic Models of Continuity and Change
In: Women's Changing Roles at Home and on the Job: National Commission for Manpower Policy, Special Report No: 26. Washington DC: U.S. GPO, 1978
Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women
Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office

The authors explore the hypothesis that prior sex-role attitudes among women influence subsequent labor force behavior, which, in turn, affects later sex-role attitudes. They find that recent declines in sex-role traditionality among American women are likely to accelerate the desire for employment among whites, but that among blacks, attitudinal changes appear not to affect the future employment of current adult cohorts. For black adolescents entering the labor force, however, early market work will be important predictors of their future desire for work. Husbands' attitudes toward women's involvement in the labor market, particularly among whites, were also significant. Based on these and other findings, the authors present five public policy recommendations.

Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women

Our analyses demonstrate a small but significant effect of nontraditional attitudes on white wives' extent of employment experience and a substantially larger effect of market participation on later attitudes.
