Though knowledge about sex segregation in the world of work is widespread, social scientists have not developed a systematic view of how machine technology abets sex stratification. Data from the first national study of technological change shows that proportionately more women than men operate machines, are more exposed to machines that have alienating effects, and suffer more from the negative effects of technological change. Despite this, sex differences are small with respect to attitudes toward technology, technological change, and job satisfaction, suggesting that the alleged link between worker-machine relations and alienation needs reexamination.
"Population projections methods of the U.S. Census Bureau draw upon several different traditions of forecasting: demographic accounting, judgmental, time series, deterministic, and explanatory. This paper reviews each of the forecasting traditions in population projections, describes the U.S. Census Bureau's current methods for national and state population projections, and proposes new hybrid approaches such as demographic-time series methods for national fertility projections and economic-demographic methods for state migration projections. Throughout the article, possible parallels with forecasting in other disciplines are noted."
