Integrating occupations: Changing occupational sex segregation in the U.S. from 2000 to 2014
Declining occupational sex segregation in the late 20 th century helped to usher in unprecedented occupational and economic advancement for women. As the 21 st century dawned, that advancement stalled

Interconnecting Work and Family: Race and Class Differences in Women's Work Status and Attitudes
Interconnecting Work and Family:Race and Class Differences in Women's Work Status and Attitudes Patricia A. Roos (bio) Shifting Work-Family Realities The interdisciplinary work-family field has grown apace in recent years, as scholars, writers, and policy makers have all focused renewed attention on women's work status and attitudes. Much of this resurgence, however, has addressed the behaviors and attitudes of middle- to upper-class white women …
Changing Families/Changing Communities: Work, family and community in transition
Scholars writing about community in recent years have been more likely to lament its passing than celebrate its exemplars. What's missing in this recent revival of interest in community is a systematic link with work–family issues and, in particular, an explicit recognition that women's and men's work–family lives have changed dramatically in the post-World War II era. We investigate the consequences of structural shifts in our family and work li…

Occupational feminization, occupational decline? Sociology’s changing sex composition
Staffing Personnel: Feminization and Change in Human Resource Management
Building on insights from queuing theory and institutional theories of organizations, we examine why human resource management feminized after 1970. We use original data collected from scholarly journals, trade journals and relevant government documents and statistics. Women typically gained entry to personnel because the field's traditional labor pool, men, was insufficient to meet demand. Although labor shortages were attributable in large meas…
Who Pays for the Kids? Gender and the Structures of Constraint
Three paradoxes surround the division of the costs of social reproduction: * Women have entered the paid labour force in growing numbers, but they continue to perform most of the unpaid labour of housework and childcare. * Birth rates have fallen but more and more mothers are supporting children on their own, with little or no assistance from fathers. * The growth of state spending is often blamed on malfunctioning markets, or runaway bureaucraci…
Shifting Gender Boundaries: Women's Inroads into Academic Sociology
Using a queuing framework, the authors investigate explanations for women's inroads into academic sociology since 1970. Women's entry has occurred most dramatically among sociology doctorates, with women now representing about half of all those awarded PhDs. Access to faculty positions has been more modest: Approximately one in four faculty members are currently women. From a systematic review of research on women's achievements in sociology, pub…

Job Queues, Gender Queues: Explaining Women's Inroads into Male Occupations
Occupational Desegregation in the 1970s: Integration and Economic Equity
During the 1970s, women made dramatic inroads into a select number of traditionally male occupations. Although media pundits touted women's gains as dramatic, there is reason to suspect whether these inroads actually represent progress for women. Using a queuing perspective, we examine whether women's gains represent genuine integration, ghettoization, or resegregation, and whether women gained economically from occupational feminization. Case st…

Marital Trajectories of American Women: Variations in the Life Course
Data from the 1980 Current Population Survey are used to highlight differentials in the life-course events of American women born during the first half of the 20th century. We examine marital trajectories in relation to demographic variables such as birth cohort, race, educational attainment, and number of times married. The analysis considers both mean and median data for all estimated life-course events and discusses variation around lifecourse…

Sex and Earnings in Industrial Society: A Nine-Nation Comparison
A substantial difference in average earnings between men and women employed full-time is documented for each of nine industrial nations, and several hypothesized explanations for the earnings gap are explored: a human capital hypothesis-women earn less because they have less education and experience; a dual career hypothesis-women earn less because they adjust their work behavior to meet the demands of family obligations; and an occupational segr…

Marriage and Women's Occupational Attainment in Cross-Cultural Perspective
Employing data from 12 industrial societies, the present paper investigates differences in the laborforce behavior, occupational distribution, and attainment patterns of ever and never married women. The analysis tests one explanation for occupational sex segregation-dual career theory, which attributes women's concentration in low-paying employment to gender differences in marital and childrearing responsibilities. The results for the twelve cou…

Various editions of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles have served as the Employment Service's basic tool for matching workers and jobs. The Dictionary of Occupational Titles has also played an important role in establishing skill and training requirements and developing Employment Service testing batteries for specific occupations. However, the role of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles has been called into question as a result of planned …
