“…Some studies find that people in more feminized occupations have characteristics that are likely to deter lead migration and to promote tied migration. For example, they earn less (England et al, 1994) and have low levels of education (Polachek, 1981), labour market experience (Duncan and Hoffman, 1979), job specialization and on-the-job training (Tam, 1997), and high rates of part-time work (Blackwell, 2001). Therefore, any effects of the sex-segregation of occupations on family migration may be caused by compositional differences in the personal endowments of workers in different occupational sex-types.…”
