Nurse or Mechanic? The Role of Parental Socialization and Children's Personality in the Formation of Sex-Typed Occupational Aspirations
Boys and girls with sex-typical aspirations are significantly more likely to end up in sex-typical jobs as adults.

This study investigates the role of parental socialization and children's agency in the formation of sex-typed preferences using data for British children aged 11 to 15. We anchor agency in observable psychological attributes associated wit…

Important theoretical controversies remain unresolved in the literature on occupational sex-segregation and the gender wage gap.

The article discusses these theories in detail and carries out a preliminary test of the relative explanatory performance of some of their most consequential predictions.…

The employment-rent approach focuses on the impact of deregulation through tem…
