The Economic and Career Effects of Sexual Harassment on Working Women
研究性骚扰及随后的职业中断如何影响女性早期职业生涯,发现性骚扰通过促使换工作加剧经济压力,并显著改变职业成就。
Many working women will experience sexual harassment at some point in their careers. While some report this harassment, many leave their jobs to escape the harassing environment. This mixed-methods study examines whether sexual harassment and subsequent career disruption affect women's careers. Using in-depth interviews and longitudinal survey data from the Youth Development Study, we examine the effect of sexual harassment for women in the early career. We find that sexual harassment increases financial stress, largely by precipitating job change, and can significantly alter women's career attainment.
