Abstract Details

2018, Master of Arts, University of Akron, Sociology.
Changes in the American labor market have created conditions where occupations dominated by women have grown much faster than jobs traditionally held by men. Prior studies have found that men are often reluctant to enter feminized occupations, and often encounter discrimination from outsiders. Using the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), I will investigate whether younger men are more likely to enter feminized occupations than older men. This study employs a sample of men between ages 18-65 who have some work experience during the survey period. There are 78,171 men in this sample, and missing cases have been dropped from the analysis. My results indicate that young men are more likely to enter feminized occupations than adults and middle-aged men. Men may be entering feminized work due to changing beliefs regarding nontraditional work or a lack of alternatives in the labor market.
