Sex differences in patterns of career mobility.

R A Rosenfeld, A B Sørensen

    Demography
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study analyzed 1970 Census data to understand occupational mobility differences between men and women. Occupational sex segregation largely explains these observed mobility disparities.

    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Demography
    • Labor Economics

    Background:

    • Intragenerational occupational mobility is crucial for understanding socioeconomic status.
    • Previous research has identified sex-based disparities in career trajectories.
    • Understanding the drivers of these disparities is essential for policy development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine sex differences in intragenerational occupational mobility patterns.
    • To differentiate mobility components attributable to structural factors versus sex-related characteristics.
    • To identify the primary drivers of observed sex-based mobility differences.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized 1970 Census data for white, U.S. men and women.
    • Analyzed occupational mobility over a five-year period (1965-1970).
    • Decomposed mobility patterns into structural and individual/group components.

    Main Results:

    • Significant differences in occupational mobility patterns were observed between men and women.
    • Structural factors, specifically occupational sex segregation, played a major role in these differences.
    • The distribution of occupational origins and destinations by sex significantly impacted mobility.

    Conclusions:

    • Occupational sex segregation is the primary determinant of observed sex differences in intragenerational mobility.
    • Policy interventions aimed at reducing occupational segregation may help mitigate mobility disparities.
    • Further research should explore intersectional effects on occupational mobility.
