Abstract

With the decline of the manufacturing-based economy there is evidence that more men are moving into care work occupations, jobs which have tended to be lower paid than others, when all factors are held equal. In new research, Janette Dill examines what happens to men when they enter feminized occupations such as care work. She finds that in lower-skilled direct care occupations, such as nursing assistants, men earned 10 percent less than their blue-collar counterparts. When it came to more skilled frontline allied health occupations such as ultrasound technicians, men earned 22 percent more showing evidence of a ‘glass-elevator’ effect.
