Change in the Gender Gap in Earnings at Career Entry Presented: Washington, DC, American Sociological Association Annual Meetings, August 1995 Cohort(s): NLSY79, Young Men, Young Women Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Family Structure; Gender Differences; Human Capital; Income; Job Aspirations; Racial Differences; Wage Differentials; Wage Gap; Work Attachment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Measures the amount of change in the gender gap in earnings at career entry between the birth cohorts of 1944-1954 & 1957-1965. Career entry is defined as entry into the first full-time civilian job held after first leaving full-time education in order to exclude short-term & partial attachments to the labor force during the schooling process. Data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience indicate that the gender gap in earnings at career entry delined [sic] from 74.8% to 85.1% among whites & from 82.9% to 85.2% among blacks over the period studied. The relative importance of alternative explanatory mechanisms in accounting for change in the gender gap in earnings for each racial group is examined. Also considered are the effects of change in gender differences in worker characteristics, including human capital, family structure, & occupational aspirations, & change in the external influences of employing organizations & social networks on the gender difference in occupational & industrial placement.
