Probabilities of job choice and employer selection and male-female occupational differences

Article Abstract:

An empirical model of occupational status was used to study the interaction of factors that determine a worker's occupational status: the worker's selection of an occupation and the employer's selection of a worker for that job. Results indicate that both factors cause sex differences in occupations. Women more often choose traditionally feminine and service occupations that men do. Employers less often choose women for professional and managerial occupations.

Gender differences in academic career paths of economists

Article Abstract:

A survey of economists who received their PhD's between 1973 and 1993 discovered that academic women had a lower rate of tenure progress, but that gender differences in tenure have narrowed in more recent years. However, lessening of affirmative actions efforts would be likely to reverse this trend. Both men and women economists were promoted to full professorship at the same rate.
