Educational Gender Segregation and Educational Mismatch
The increasing connection between higher education and the workforce may influence gender-based educational and occupational segregation. If men and women continue to gravitate toward fields historically dominated by their own gender, this segregation will persist. Furthermore, the chosen field of study carries implications for labor market mismatch, as certain majors are more prone to producing graduates who struggle to find positions aligned wi…
Gender and Occupational Prestige. Testing the Devaluation Theory in Spain
The devaluation theory, that is, that occupations where women predominate become less socially valued than those where men are in the majority, has not reached a unanimous conclusion in the empirical literature, especially when prestige is used as an indicator of the valuation of the occupation. The changing economic and social circumstances may influence the fulfillment of this hypothesis over time. Using regression analysis, this article tests …
Overeducation and Mental Health in Spain
Prior studies have identified a positive effect of an individual’s educational attainment on their mental well-being. However, this effect appears to be less pronounced among university graduates. Two potential explanations for this phenomenon are overeducation and the possible existence of reverse causality. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between overeducation and indicators of poor mental health, among highly educated work…
Is the 'Treiman constant' actually constant? An assessment using two Spanish occupational prestige scales
It is recurrently claimed that occupational prestige scales are invariant over time (the so-called Treiman constant). However, the changes experienced in recent decades in terms of globalization, automation, polarization, or migratory movements, among others, may have modified the occupational structure of the country's labor market and its citizens' perception toward the valuation of occupations. This study aims to evaluate the (in)-variance of …
Occupational Prestige and Fathers’ Influence on Sons and Daughters
Over-Qualification and the Dimensions of Job Satisfaction
Occupational Prestige and Gender-Occupational Segregation
The purpose of this article is to determine whether there is a relationship between the proportion of women working in an occupation and the prestige assigned to that occupation. Based on a representative sample of Spanish employees from the Spanish Quality of Working Life Survey, pooled-sample data (2007-2010) are used to show that occupations with larger shares of women present lower prestige, controlling for a set of objective individual and w…

Espaciamiento de los nacimientos y el descenso de la fecundidad en Costa Rica
Este trabajo utiliza datos de las Encuestas Comparativas de Fecundidad de América Latina, así como de la Encuesta Mundial de Fecundidad para estudiar las tendencias y diferenciales en el espaciamiento de los nacimientos entre las mujeres alguna vez casadas en Costa Rica durante el período 1945-1974. Una buena parte de la atención se pone en el ritmo de la fecundidad en las etapas umbral, temprana y tardía de la disminución de la fecundidad que es…
Gender Differences in Childcare
This article analyses the intrahousehold allocation of time in households headed by heterosexual couples to show gender differences in childcare in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Using data for the five sample countries from the European Community Household Panel (ECHP; 1994–2001) and the framework of a general efficiency approach, each parent's hours spent on childcare are regressed against individual and household characteristics. …
Regional Disparities in the Unemployment Rate
Bande R., Fernández M. and Montuenga V. M. (2007) Regional disparities in the unemployment rate: the role of the wage-setting mechanism in Spain, 1987–92, Regional Studies 41, –. The aim of this paper is to show how regional unemployment disparities in Spain widen during economic upturns and to provide an explanation of this behaviour. The analysis is based on the study of the wage-setting mechanism that allows an estimation of the responses of w…
The Spanish Wage Curve
GARCíA-MAINAR I. and MONTUENGA-GÓMEZ V. M. (2003) The Spanish wage curve: 1994–1996, Reg. Studies 37, 929– 945. In this paper, we estimate a wage curve for Spain using data from the European Community Household Panel, which provides microinformation for the period 1994–96. By refining the unemployment rate measure, we find an unemployment elasticity of wages not very far from that encountered in other developed countries. We argue that these resu…
