Gender differences in occupational mobility and structure of employment in the British Civil Service

Selection from fixed term to permanent employment: prospective study on health, job satisfaction, and behavioural risks

“…These results correspond to the study of Roberts et al,43 in which upward occupational mobility in the British Civil Service population was higher for men and for employees at the higher educational and occupational levels than for others. Our results indicating a low proportion of part time workers becoming permanent may reflect, on one hand, the disadvantages of part time work for employees, and on the other hand, a voluntary choice of some employees.…”

Commitment to Work, Care Giving and Seniority: The Case of Nursing

“…The work-family conflict literature has long demonstrated that family responsibilities can affect work outcomes. Previous research has found contradictory findings about the effects of being in a relationship on seniority (Roberts et al 1993;Tomiak et al 1997). The present study found no association between relationship status and seniority in an Australian context (H 1 ).…”

“…Other studies, in the civil services of Canada (Tomiak et al 1997) and the United Kingdom (Roberts et al 1993), have found married men to be more likely than single men to hold senior positions but found no effect for women. It is interesting that for men a positive association of marriage with seniority in the paid work force was found amongst government employees in two English speaking countries but not in the general work force of Britain.…”

Relative contribution of early life and adult socioeconomic factors to adult morbidity in the Whitehall II study

“…Women's social standing may be more persistently influenced by their family background, especially if there is a “glass ceiling” limiting women's promotion chances 30. Support for this view is in table 1, which shows that of the high grade men 48% had fathers in social class I and II; the figure for women was 69%.…”
