Abstract
The vast majority of occupational attainment studies have not adequately addressed the effects of marriage and spouses on the occupational attainment process. When spousal influence is taken in account, social scientists tend to take a one - sided approach in focusing on the effects of husbands’ achievements on the occupational attainments of women. The extent to which wives mediate men’s occupational outcomes is rarely the subject of inquiry. This study addresses the single sided approach by comparing the effects of having ever married, spousal educational attainment, number of children, and having ever divorced on the occupational advancements of men and women. A United States national sample of 3,375 white men and 2,612 white women between the ages of 20 and 64 was derived from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics.
