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