Sexually Integrated Workplaces and Divorce: Another Form of On-the-Job Search Journal of Human Resources 42,2 (Spring 2007): 331-352. Also: http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/XLII/2/331.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Census of Population; Discrimination, Sex; Divorce; Gender Differences; Marital Status; Working Conditions As women have entered the work force and occupational sex segregation has declined, workers experience increased contact with the opposite sex on the job. The sex mix a worker encounters on the job should affect the cost of search for alternative mates and therefore the probability of divorce. This paper uses 1990 Census data to calculate the sex mix by industry-occupation cell. These results are then used to predict divorce among ever-married respondents in the 1990 Census and the NLSY79. The results indicate that those who work with a larger fraction of workers of the opposite sex are more likely to be divorced. (Abstract by the author.) |
