The Impact of Nontraditional Training on the Occupational Attainment of Women
研究非传统培训对低收入女性职业成就的影响,发现接受培训的女性比男性更难进入男性主导职业,且时薪较低,表明仅靠培训难以减少职业隔离。
In this paper we examine the effect of nontraditional training on the occupational attainment of economically disadvantaged women. Using a logit model of occupational attainment, we found that women who received nontraditional training under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) were much less likely than their male counterparts to be employed in male-dominated occupations, and also received somewhat lower hourly wages. These results suggest that nontraditional training alone may not be an effective way of reducing the occupational segregation of low-income women.
