Trends in Occupational Sex and Race Segregation from 1990 to 2000
نویسنده
چکیده
A study of occupational race and sex segregation was performed on time series, census data from 1940 to 2000. Modernization / neoclassic economic theories and institutional / queuing theories were tested in the analyses. Modernization theory suggests that over time, occupational segregation will decrease, while institutional/queue theory suggests segregation will not decline due to rigidities and barriers in the occupational structure. Recent conceptualization of segregation consisting of vertical and horizontal segregation is also tested. Log multiplicative association models were used to analyze occupational segregation in nine broad occupational classifications, as well as within each broad classification.

We show that our gender-s...
