Doctoral Dissertation Research in Sociology: From Borders to Barriers: Strategies of Occupational Closure and the Structure of Occupational Rewards

*** Grusky和Weeden 9711510工业社会的社会不平等是由三个过程产生的：劳动分工中职位的分化、职位与报酬的匹配、个人对职位的分配。职业学者探讨了第一个部分，分层研究考察了第三个部分，但第二个部分最近很少受到社会学的关注。为了解决我们知识上的这一差距，本论文项目将在三个时间点分析横截面数据，以将职业关闭（或职业通过专业协会，许可，工会组织或证书要求限制会员资格的能力）的影响与职业成员的人力资本特征（包括教育，经验，性别和种族）的影响分开。＊＊＊

*** Grusky and Weeden 9711510 Social inequality in industrial society is generated by three processes: the differentiation of positions in the division of labor, the matching of positions to rewards, and the allocation of individuals to positions. Scholars of occupations explore the first component, stratification research examines the third, but the second has received little recent sociological attention. To address this gap in our knowledge, this dissertation project will analyze cross-sectional data at three points in time to separate the effects of occupational closure (or the ability of an occupation to limit membership, through professional associations, licensing, unionization or credential requirements) from the effects of human capital characteristics of occupation members (including education, experience, gender, and race). ***
