Industrial Transformation and Occupational Sex Differentiation

Evidence from New Zealand and the United States

Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., U.S.A.

Using data from various United States and New Zealand censuses and drawing on theories of industrial transformation, this paper examines how women's occupational employment changed during the 1970's. Shift-share analysis is used to decompse changes n occupational employment into three components: (1) industrial shift efficiency; (2) occupational mix ef fects ; and (3) interaction effects. Results show that industrial transformation, per se, (i.e., the growth of service sector industries) was a less important factor in creating occupational opportunities for American and New Zealand women than changes in the technical divi sion of labor within industries.
