does the glass escalator compensate for the devaluation of care work Occupations the careers of men in low and middle skill Health care jobs
Gender & Society, 2016Co-Authors: Janette S Dill, Kim Priceglynn, Carter C RakovskiAbstract: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 occupati...

how far can complementary and alternative medicine go the case of chiropractic and homeopathy
Social Science & Medicine, 2006Co-Authors: Merrijoy Kelner, Beverly Wellman, Sandy Welsh, Heather BoonAbstract:This paper examines the efforts of two complementary and alternative Occupations, chiropractors and homeopaths, to move from the margins to the mainstream in Health care in the province of Ontario. We use a variety of theoretical perspectives to understand how Health Occupations professionalize: the trait functionalist framework, social closure, the system of professions, and the concept of countervailing powers. The research traces the strategies that the leaders of the two groups are employing, as well as the resources they are able to marshal. These are analyzed within the context of the larger institutional and cultural environment. The data are derived from in-person interviews with 16 leaders (10 chiropractic and 6 homeopathic) identified through professional associations, teaching institutions and informants from the groups. The responses were analyzed with qualitative content analysis. We also used archival materials to document what the leaders were telling us. The data revealed four main strategies: (1) improving the quality of educational programs, (2) elevating standards of practice, (3) developing more peer reviewed research, and (4) increasing group cohesion. Although both groups identified similar strategies, the chiropractors were bolstered by more resources as well as state sanctioned regulation. The efforts of the homeopaths were constrained by scarce resources and the absence of self-regulation. In both cases the lack of strong structural support from government and the established Health professions played an important role in limiting what was possible. In the future, it may be to the state's advantage to modify the overall shape of Health care to include alternative paradigms of healing along with conventional medical care. Such a shift would put complementary and alternative medicine Occupations in a better position to advance professionally and become formal elements of the established Health care system.

a scale of occupational prestige in canada based on noc major groups
Canadian Journal of Sociology, 2007Co-Authors: John Goyder, Kristyn FrankAbstract:Abstract: Human Resources Development Canada (now Human Resources and Social Development) developed in the early 1990s a classification of Occupations having a more sociologically sensitive major groups structure than older codes such as the CCDO of the 1970s or the SOC of the 1980s. This National Occupational Classification (NOC) was updated in 2001, but the system is not used as widely as might be expected. Researchers seem to want major groups that are ordered, such as the Pineo, Porter, McRoberts scale of 1977. In 2005, a national level study of occupational prestige in Canada was collected by telephone interviews. The survey included prestige ratings of the 26 major groups of the NOC. With ratings at the major group level, every occupation in the Canadian labour force can be assigned a prestige score. The focus on NOC major groups also avoids problems that otherwise might arise in disclosure analysis in public use versions of Statistics Canada data sets. The paper describes the construction and validation of the scale. Resume: Developpement des ressources humaines Canada (maintenant Ressources humaines et Developpement social Canada) a developpe au debut des annees 1990 une classification des professions dont la structure repose sur des groupes principaux plus sensibles sur le plan sociologique que les anciens codes comme ceux de la CCDP dans les annees 1970 ou la CTP dans les annees 1980. Cette classification nationale des professions (CNP) a ete raise a jour en 2001, mais son utilisation du systeme n'est pas aussi repandue que l'on aurait espere. Les chercheurs semblent vouloir des groupes importants classes comme l'echelle de Pineo, Porter, McRoberts de 1977. En 2005, une etude nationale sur le prestige professionnel a ete effectuee au Canada au moyen d'interviews telephoniques. L'etude comprenait le classement de prestige des 26 principaux groupes de la CNP. Dans le cas de classements par principaux groupes, chaque profession de la population active du Canada peut se faire attribuer une cote de prestige. Les principaux groupes de la CNP evitent aussi les problemes pouvant autrement surgir au moment de l'analyse des divulgations dans les versions d'usage public des ensembles de donnees de Statistique Canada. L'article decrit la construction et la validation de l'echelle. Introduction and Objectives Most occupational classifications use some branching format which first differentiates among broad types of Occupations and then moves within successive digits to increasingly fine distinctions. In the case of the Canadian Classification and Dictionary of Occupations (CCDO) from the 1970s, the broad groups were criticized for being multi-dimensional and heterogeneous. The CCDO was a bete noire for John Porter (Pineo, 1981:621), and along with Pineo and McRoberts, Porter devised his own scale of major groups (Pineo, Porter and McRoberts, 1977) which remained popular during the 1980s. The Pineo, Porter, McRoberts scale, with its grounding in the CCDO, has been slipping out of date for years. For social scientists in Canada, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) introduced by HRDC (1) in 1993 and revised in a year 2001 edition should therefore have been a welcome step. This new approach, along with its close cousin the NOC-S, built in a skill "level" dimension along with differentiation by skill "type" sectors such as "Health Occupations" and "sales and service Occupations." The mapping of the two dimensions was emphasized within a cross-classification disseminated as a fold-out chart accompanying the coding manual for the NOC (HRDC, 2001). (2) The NOC major groups scale has not been as widely adopted as might have been expected. There is a tendency among academic researchers to favour the Blishen scale even though that scoring of the education and income level of occupational incumbents is based on the census of 1981 and is normed against occupational prestige data collected as far back as 1965. …
