| Abstract: | This article investigates gender and cohort differences in career mobility in Britain and the strength of the effects of career entry on later career development. Employing large-scale data from the National Child Development Study and the British Cohort Study, individuals' occupational careers between the ages of 16 and 34 are examined. Entering at the bottom of the occupational hierarchy is more likely to hinder women's career development, while for men it is rather a stepping-stone to more favourable positions. |
