Ethnicity and career aspirations in contemporary Britain
This article examines the career aspirations of 376 fifth‐formers in three Rochdale comprehensive schools in December 1989. The analysis demonstrates that the relationships between various types of career aspiration and a series of explanatory variables (ethnicity, social class, gender and school attended) are complex. The article utilises Automatic Interaction Detector and HOMALS techniques to unpack these complex interactions. Overall the artic…
Technical Change and the Division of Labour in Rochdale and Aberdeen: Evidence from the Social Change and Economic Life Initiative
This article examines the effects of technical change upon the division of labour in Rochdale and Aberdeen. It is based upon interviews undertaken as part of the ESRC's Social Change and Economic Life Research Initiative. The results reveal that there was little difference between establishments in the two localities within broadly matched industrial sectors. There was little evidence in the research to support the deskilling thesis. There was mo…
Gender Relations, Technology and Employment Change in the Contemporary Textile Industry
This paper examines employment patterns in the British textile industry over the last twenty years. In particular it focuses on a dramatic structural shift in the balance of male and female employees within textiles. From the onset of the Industrial Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century until the 1960s, around two-thirds of textile employees were female. Over the last twenty years textile manufacture has become increasingly the domain o…
The dialectics of ethnic incorporation and exclusion: Employment trajectories of Asian migrants in Rochdale
This article presents findings from the ESRC's Social Change and Economic Life Research Initiative project undertaken in Rochdale. It provides an integrated analysis of the situation of Asian migrants in the town by combining longitudinal data taken from a survey of adult work histories with parallel data from interviews conducted with local employers and local trades unions. The article demonstrates that inward migration has been a general featu…
Continuities and Change in Skilled Work: A Comparision of Five Paper Manufacturing Plants in the UK, Australia and the USA
This paper involves an examination of skilled manual work in the modern paper industry. The data were collected at five mills in three countries the UK, Australia and the USA. The questions were formulated in order to probe four theories of skilled work. The results suggest that the distinction between skilled and nonskilled work is a fundamental feature of occupational differentiation in all five plants. They also reveal that there are intra-ski…
Deskilling or Enskilling: An Empirical Investigation of Recent Theories of the Labour Process
This article involves an investigation of the effects of technological changes since 1970 upon the division of labour in three British paper mills. The data was collected in the Spring and Summer of 1984 and is used to develop a model of technical change and the division of labour that moves well beyond conventional positions in the field. In particular, Braverman's theory of deskilling is challenged empirically and theoretically. A new theory th…
