The authors argue that by considering theories from a variety of disciplines and the complementarities among them, our understanding of sex inequality in the labor market can be improved. Further, these theories suggest important sex differences in labor market preferences and preparations that have not previously been included in empirical studies. Our results indicate that at least for young college graduates, a substantial amount of sex inequality in labor market position is due to the traditional sex-based division of labor within the home and sex differences in labor market preferences, preparations, and participation. These factors accounted for nearly one-half of the sex difference in occupational sex type and almost 90 percent of the sex difference in hourly earnings. The results also indicated that no one set of factors were dominant in explaining occupational and sex inequality in earnings. |
