Abstract:

Drawing on retrospective data from women’s complete working histories, I focus on two focal associations: 1). the impact of different structures of non-employment spells on women’s occupational status achievement; and 2). the effects of six groups of job exits on occupational status: maternal/family reasons, other personal reasons, positive work-related leaves, negative work-related leaves, involuntary leaves and other involuntary reasons  I also explore the associations between job exits and the outspells they engender. Finally, I explore the consequences of job exits and non-employment durations in conjunction with age, child births, traumatic life events, and husband’s unemployment.

The empirical results indicate that not only do different types of job exits produce different durations of non-employment and carry different costs for women’s subsequent occupational status attainment; some exits may actually be beneficial as in the case of positive job exits made during young adulthood. To the contrary, some exits made in middle adulthood, particularly personal job exits, carry heavy costs for women’s occupational status achievement. Results also indicate that involuntary job exits and maternal/family exits engender longer outspells and are the most costly for women’s mobility, though involuntary job exits are almost four times as costly.

Investigation of women’s job exits and their consequences have been taken up by sociologists and economists for some time. Indeed a search of nearly four decades of research reveals that the discourse has surrounded the costs associated with a). different types of reasons for leaving jobs and b). durations of non-employment.
