| Tiivistelmä: | This article analyses occupational aspirations and attainment among West Germans born btw. 1919 and 1971 with the focus on the role of occupational segregation in maintaining gender stratification. Life course patterns of men and women have strongly changed among younger cohorts, but both are still extremely segregated in the labour markets, earning unequal wages. It is shown among others that for the youngest cohort, gender differences in human capital, family obligations, and work life characteristics do not account for within-occupation gender inequality in the late 1990s. Whereas young German women acquired the same or better human capital than men, the return to their skills in the labour market has fallen below that of their male contemporaries. |
