Women's Occupational Mobility: A Lifetime Perspective

by Shirley Dex

The way women move between jobs has been recognized as being important to both academic debates and policy issues. Information about women's occupational mobility is required to resolve issues about women's role in class analysis, about theories of the operation of labor markets, and for understanding the changes in the industrial structure. The book addresses the questions of how women move between jobs over their lifetime, how much downward occupational mobility they experience, and how many recover their status after downward moves.
