Promotions Among Women Work and Family, Report 868. Washington DC: US. Department of Labor, March 1994. Also: http://stats.bls.gov/pdf/nlswk008.pdf Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Gender Differences; Occupational Attainment; Occupational Status; Private Sector; Working Conditions For most workers, the conditions of employment such as wages, benefits, and work environment are extremely important aspects of a job. Also of importance is an individual's rank or position within an organization. In many firms there exists a well-established job hierarchy in which advancement takes the form of promotions to higher level jobs, which is often considered part of the "structure" of an organization. Past research into the causes and consequences of promotions has focused primarily on federal workers, lawyers, and academics examining gender differentials in promotion within these sectors. However, little is known about the internal labor market, promotion activity, and the consequences of promotion among groups of private sector workers. This report uses data from the Young Women's cohort of the National Longitudinal Surveys to examine how the conditions of employment such as wages, benefits, and work environment affect a woman's rank or position within an organization. In 1991, when the women were age 37 to 48, the survey asked questions to working women about whether a promotion was received at their current or last job and about certain characteristics of the promotion, such as whether the promotion involved more pay, more challenging work, more authority over others, or more responsibility. |
