BUCHELE, ROBERT Sex Discrimination and Labor Market Segmentation In: Dynamics of Labour Market Segmentation. F. Wilkinson, ed., New York, NY: Academic Press, 1981 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women ID Number: 300 Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Sex discrimination in employment and earnings is analyzed from a labor market segmentation perspective. This provides a useful framework because it focuses clearly on the two forms which discrimination may take: job discrimination (unequal access to certain classes of jobs) and pay discrimination (unequal pay in similar kinds of jobs). LEIGH, DUANE E. An Analysis of the Determinants of Occupational Upgrading New York NY: Academic Press, 1978 Cohort(s): Young Men ID Number: 1309 Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The occupational mobility of individual workers is examined in attempting to test several hypotheses drawn from human capital theory and the dual labor market hypothesis. The tests involve a comparison of the occupational advancement of black and white males in similar age categories using two sources of longitudinal data. Census data allow the measurement of occupational change between l965 and l970, while change over the l966-69 period is examined using the NLS of Young Men. Results indicate that education and post-school investments in vocational training and job tenure have positive effects of roughly similar magnitudes on the upgrading of blacks and whites. Controlling for these personal endowments, the effect on upgrading of mobility between employers is also estimated. ROSENBERG, SAM Occupational Mobility and Short Cycles In: Dynamics of Labour Market Segmentation. F. Wilkinson, ed., New York: Academic Press, 1981 Cohort(s): Older Men ID Number: 2085 Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. The author examined the impact of cyclical fluctuations, during l966-75, on the occupational experience of older male workers. Within a labor market segmentation framework, the questions analyzed were: (1) what is the extent of upward occupational mobility from the secondary sector to the primary sector in times of economic expansion; (2) what is the extent of downward occupational mobility from the primary sector to the secondary sector during economic downturns; (3) what is the degree of permanence of upward occupational mobility over the business cycle; and (4) what racial differentials exist in mobility patterns? The findings suggest that there is some upward mobility from the secondary sector to the primary sector during the expansion phase of the business cycle. However, many workers return to the secondary sector during economic slumps. The particular mobility patterns observed correlate to a degree with trends in labor demand, as measured by fluctuations in the size of different occupations over the business cycle, and the extent of unemployment in those occupations.
