Women's Low Employment Rates in India
Indian women's labor force participation rates have long demonstrated a U-shaped relationship with their education, rather than a more conventional positive linear relationship. The low rates of employment for moderately educated women are usually explained either as a result of the cultural stigma of women's employment in a patriarchal society or because of the lack of demand from white-collar and light manufacturing jobs for women with middle l…
Maternal education and the multidimensionality of child health outcomes in India
Maternal education plays a central role in children’s health, but there has been little research comparing the role of maternal education across health outcomes. It is important to distinguish child health outcomes from medical care outcomes. Health outcomes such as short-term morbidity and stunting are multifactorial in origin and determined by a range of factors not necessarily under a mother’s control. Mother’s education, given the necessary s…
The Impact of Transportation Infrastructure on Women's Employment in India
Indian women's labor force participation is extremely low and they are much less likely than men to work in the non-farm sector. Earlier research explained women's labor supply by individual characteristics, social institutions, and cultural norms, but not enough attention has been paid to the labor market opportunity structure that constrains women's labor market activities. Using data from the India Human Development Survey (IHDS) in 2004-05 an…
The American Perception of Class
Scholars and nonacademics alike have usually assumed that the American working class does not think of itself as a coherent class opposed to the dominant powers in American society—in short, that it is not class conscious. In international perspective, the American working class appears docile and complacent. It has never supported a strong socialist movement; a weak union movement has limited itself to simple wage demands; and class conflict her…
Indian paradox
BACKGROUND: Theories of human capital would suggest that with more education, women acquire greater skills and their earnings increase, resulting in higher labor force participation. However, it has been long known that in India, women's education has a U-shaped relationship with labor force participation. Part of the decline at moderate levels of education may be due to an income effect whereby women with more education marry into richer familie…
Getting a Child through Secondary School and to College in India
In the classic formulations of social capital theory, families employ their social capital resources to enhance other capitals, in particular their human capital investments. Social capital would seem to be especially important in the case of India, where, in recent years, higher education has been under considerable stress with rising educational demand, inadequate supply, and little parental experience to guide children's transition through the…
Escaping and Falling into Poverty in India Today
Economic Status and Adult Mortality in India
The 1990s Shift in the Media Portrayal of Working Mothers
A cultural theme of distressed working mothers depicts working mothers as caught between the demands of work and family in an unforgiving institutional context. Susan Faludi first identified this theme as a conservative backlash against feminists' attempts “to have it all.” But a similar narrative helps support demands for more flexible work–family policies and more significant housework contributions from fathers. We explore the actual trends an…
Living Arrangements and Health of Older Adults in India
Our study demonstrates that multigenerational households--the traditional and the most dominant form of living arrangement in India--have protective health benefits for older adults, while taking into account potential selection mechanisms. On Contrary to some epidemiological studies, we do not find any elevated risk of exposure to short-term illness, when older adults are living in households with young grandchildren

The End of the Gender Revolution? Gender Role Attitudes from 1977 to 2008
After becoming consistently more egalitarian for more than two decades, gender role attitudes in the General Social Survey have changed little since the mid-1990s. This plateau mirrors other gender trends, suggesting a fundamental alteration in the momentum toward gender equality. While cohort replacement can explain about half of the increasing egalitarianism between 1974 and 1994, the changes since the mid-1990s are not well accounted for by co…
Gender Differentials in Literacy in India
Context Matters
Previous research has shown that fundamentalist religious beliefs and affiliations are associated with conservative gender attitudes. This study expands upon previous research by examining both the individual and contextual effects of conservative Protestantism on gender attitudes. Multilevel analysis of data from the General Social Surveys (1985–96) reveals a significant relationship between the proportion of fundamentalists in a state and conse…
The Effects of Occupational Gender Segregation Across Race
The general relationship between occupational gender segregation and earnings inequality is well documented, although few studies have examined the relationship separately by race/ethnicity. This article investigates occupational gender segregation effects across whites, African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians. In addition, we explore two ways in which segregation may affect earnings: (1) by lowering the earnings of workers in female-dominated o…
The Glass Ceiling Effect
The popular notion of glass ceiling effects implies that gender (or other) disadvantages are stronger at the top of the hierarchy than at lower levels and that these disadvantages become worse later in a persons career. We define four specific criteria that must be met to conclude that a glass ceiling exists. Using random effects models and data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we examine gender and race inequalities at the 25th, 50th, an…
Women's Work and Working Women
The demand for female labor is a central explanatory component of macrostructural theories of gender stratification. This study analyzes how the structural demand for female labor affects gender differences in labor force participation. The authors develop a measure of the gendered demand for labor by indexing the degree to which the occupational structure is skewed toward usually male or female occupations. Using census data from 1910 through 19…

The Demand for Female Labor
A number of theorists identify the demand for female labor as a central determinant of gender inequality. The authors construct a measure of the demand for female labor and test its impact on labor market inequality, educational attainment, family structure, political representation, and gender role attitudes across 261 metropolitan areas. Areas with more traditional female occupational structures have less labor market and educational gender ine…
All Women Benefit
Macro-level processes transfer many of the income benefits of occupational integration to all women in the labor market, not just to those women who enter predominantly male (and therefore high-paying) occupations. The authors investigate these macro-level effects in a multi-level model comparing 261 metropolitan area labor markets. They find that occupational integration is strongly associated with gender earnings equality, even after extensive …
Same Data, Different Conclusions
Gender Inequality in Nonmetropolitan and Metropolitan Areas1
Nonmetropolitan-metropolitan differences in the United States are large and growing, but we know relatively little about how they interact with gender differences. Using data from the CPS, the Census PUMS, and the GSS, we find nonmetropolitan and metropolitan areas are quite similar in the gender gap in earnings and in rates of married women's labor force participation. Occupational sex segregation is higher and some gender attitudes are a few pe…
Fertility, Dimensions of Patriarchy, and Development in India
This study examines the relative importance of the marriage system the means of active discrimination against women and womens economic value in a patriarchal system in affecting the total fertility rate (TFR) for 358 districts in India. Data were obtained from the Development District Database from the 1981 Census of India. TFR was adjusted for undercounts based on the methods of Bhat Preston and Dyson. Regional diversity in fertility was expect…
Occupational Gender Desegregation in the 1980s
This article examines the change in occupational gender segregation in the 1980s using 1980 and 1990 Public Use Microdata Samples data. This research reveals a continuing decline in occupational gender segregation in the 1980s, but at a somewhat slower pace than in the 1970s. About three quarters of the overall desegregation was due to the changing gender composition of occupations, and about one quarter was due to the faster growth of more integ…
Gender Inequality at Work
Women’s increased participation in paid work is a central change in gender relations over the last 50 years. The question is no longer whether the average woman will work or not but rather when during her life course she will work. Most women now work—women at all education levels of each racial and ethnic group and across successive family statuses. Labor force participation is often seen as the prime indicator (and cause) of changes in women’s …

The American Perception of Class and Status
Most American sociological research has conceptualized the occupational structure as a continuous prestige hierarchy. The research reported here questions the generality of that conceptualization by examining the relative importance of manual-nonmanual differences and prestige differences for several attitudes and behaviors. First, the perception of working class and middle class more closely reflects a manual-nonmanual dichotomy than a continuou…

The Occupational Composition of American Classes
Hierarchical clustering methods are developed to analyze the American occupational structure. Two analyses are computed, based on similarities of intergenerational mobility inflows and of residential patterns. In both analyses the farm versus nonfarm distinction is the most basic. The second level divides occupations into middle- and working-class clusters. These clusters lend support to a hypothesis of proletarianization of white-collar work; em…

U.S. and British Perceptions of Class
This research tests one aspect of the widely held belief that Americans are less class conscious than Europeans. Analysis of subjective class placements in the United States and Great Britain indicates that there is virtually no difference in the way social structural position is used to define middle- or working-class placement. The lack of any statistically significant interactions suggest that class is as clearly perceived in the United States…

Patterns of Support for George Wallace
Evidence to support the argument that George Wallace's popularity is a product of rising antiblack sentiment is examined with a focus on the evaluation of Wallace by northern whites across a number of national surveys. Demographic characteristics of supporters are examined and the link between racial attitudes and pro‐Wallace tendencies is explored. It is concluded that the role of racial prejudice in Wallace's northern support has been exaggerat…

The Interest of Bureaucrats
Neither modernization studies nor the new world-system approach to development has treated bureaucrats as an autonomous group pursuing its own interests in competition and collusion with other social groups. An examination of bureaucrats and higher-education politics in Thailand, India, and China over the past three decades reveals a notably similar vision of group interest, despite great differences in historical origin and in the success with w…

The Perception of Class
This research examines the extent to which the social relations of production are perceived as important components of class position.

The effects of these three dimensions on class perceptions are examined by an analysis of the determinants of class self-placements. Using two …
