The Impact Of Nontraditional Training On The Occupational Attainment Of Women, Michael Seeborg, Irmtraud Streker-Seeborg, Abera Zegeye Dec 1983

The Impact Of Nontraditional Training On The Occupational Attainment Of Women, Michael Seeborg, Irmtraud Streker-Seeborg, Abera Zegeye

Michael Seeborg

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.

The National Supported Work Demonstration, Hollister Robinson, Peter Kemper, Rebecca Maynard

REBECCA A MAYNARD

In this edited work, leading social scientists examine the intent, design, and administration of the Supported Work Demonstration programs in 10 cities, serving large numbers of long-term welfare recipients, ex-addicts, ex-offenders and young school dropouts. Eligible individuals were randomly assigned to the offer of the supported employment experience or to a business as usual control condition. The study samples were followed for up to three years following enrollment. The findings are synthesized through a comprehensive benefit-cost analysis.
