Collaborative Research on 1970-1990 Trends in Occupational Sex and Race Composition

这项研究将评估和调查1970-1990年职业性别和种族隔离趋势的决定因素，以及特定职业的性别和种族构成趋势。调查人员已经创建了由1970年和1980年人口普查微观数据汇总而成的职业级数据文件。该项目将为1990年创建一个类似的文件，以便进行三波汇集的横截面时间序列分析。分析的单位是详细的职业。这些因变量正在改变不同种族性别群体(例如黑人女性)在500多个详细职业中的比例。自变量衡量的是职业增长、吸引力、白人男性劳动力供应、他们的惯常工人排斥外来者的能力、他们降低成本的经济压力、雇佣非传统工人的经济优势，以及受到法律制裁的脆弱性。这项研究将有助于社会学的几个领域，包括职业、阶层划分、流动性、性别和种族关系。通过这样做，它将加强有关平等就业法规和未来美国劳动力多样性的政策决策的知识基础。

This study will assess and investigate the determinants of 1970- 1990 trends in occupational sex and race segregation, and trends in the sex and race composition of specific occupations. The investigators have already created occupational-level data files aggregated from individual-level 1970 and 1980 census microdata. This project will create a similar file for 1990 that will permit three-wave pooled cross-sectional time-series analysis. The unit of analysis is the detailed occupation. The dependent variables are changing proportions of various race-sex groups (e.g. black women) across the more than 500 detailed occupations. The independent variables measure occupational growth, attractiveness, white male labor supply, the ability of their customary workers to exclude outsiders, their economic pressures to lower costs, economic advantages to hiring nontraditional workers, and vulnerability to legal sanctions. The research will contribute to several fields of sociology, including occupations, stratification, mobility, gender and race relations. In so doing, it will strengthen the knowledge base for policy decisions concerning equal employment regulations and concerning the diversity of the future American labor force.
