  • Income inequality between the sexes in male-dominated public health specialties

    Open AccessStephanie L Shanks-Meile, Stephanie L Shanks‐meile et al.ARTICLEThe Social Science Journal1987References: 5

    Four explanations have been developed to explain women's low wage earnings. Human capital and sex-role socialization theories provide individualistic explanation, while dual labor and split labor market analyses focus on labor market segmentation. This research examines structural factors and finds that females in male-dominated public health specialties earn considerably less than males even when “investments” and opportunities” are controlled

  • Alignment, Magnification, and Snowballing

    Hugh P Whitt, Richard L MeileARTICLESocial Forces1985

Alternative interpretations may be more often used than a mental illness explanation, whic…

    The characteristics of more than 12,000 persons from developing countries who received training in population and family planning subjects during 1966-78 are reviewed. During these years many changes occurred with regard to trainee origin, professional background, nature and duration of training program attended, and other important characteristics.

  • Social Status, Status Incongruence and Symptoms of Stress

    Richard L Meile, Philip N HaeseARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…1969Cited by: 15

    We investigate the utility of two divergent conceptualizations of social stratification as they apply to symptoms of stress. One approach envisages socioeconomic status as some average of the values of a number of indicators of status, while the other emphasizes the effects of status incongruence. Those with incongruence of status did not differ significantly from status congruents in proportion with stress, nor was amount of status incongruence …
