Determinants of the Female Occupational Distribution: A Log-Linear Probability Analysis

Evelyn L. Lehrer; Houston H. Stokes

The Review of Economics and Statistics 1985

The present study examines the determinants of two aspects of occupation which have been found to have important influences on female wages: the skill level associated with the occupation and the sex composition of the occupation (typically female versus male or integrated). Using a log-linear probability technique and data from the National Longitudinal Surveys, Young Women Cohort, hypotheses drawn from the economic and sociological literature are tested.
