abstract: 'Feminized care work occupations have traditionally paid lower wages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compared to non-care work occupations when controlling for human
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
capital. However, when men enter feminized occupations, they often
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experience a glass escalator, leading to higher wages and career
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mobility as compared to their female counterparts. In this study, we
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examine whether men experience a wage penalty for performing care work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in today''s economy, or whether the glass escalator helps to mitigate the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
devaluation of care work occupations. Using data from the Survey of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Income and Program Participation for the years 1996-2011, we examine the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
career patterns of low- and middle-skill men in health care occupations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We found that men in occupations that provide the most hands-on direct
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care did experience lower earnings compared to men in other occupations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
after controlling for demographic characteristics. However, men in more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
technical allied health occupations did not have significantly lower
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings, suggesting that these occupations may be part of the glass
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
escalator for men in the health care sector. Minority men were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significantly more likely than white men to be in direct care
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupations, but not in frontline allied health occupations. Male direct
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care workers were less likely to transition to unemployment compared to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
men in other occupations.'
