Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable
books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the
original University of Minnesota Press editions. What are the
effects of working conditions, rewards, and habits upon the
institution of the family? What are the typical forms of
occupational segregation, and what are the effects of such
segregation upon the general society? How are the social roles
appropriate to each occupation created and sustained? What social
processes determine the evolution of occupational groupings and the
distribution of population among them? This work, a basic study in
occupational sociology, throws light on such questions as these.
Professor Caplow describes the occupational system with reference
to specialization, occupational status, the formation of
professions, mobility, the patterning of individual careers, the
occupations of women, and the prospects for continued improvement
of working conditions. He draws upon hundreds of empirical studies
for his discussions. The book has been warmly received by reviewers
and readers. Robert Dublin commented in the American Journal of
Sociology: "This volume will long stand as a sourcebook of
hypotheses and thesis topics for students of industrial sociology."
Writing in the American Sociological Review, George Caspar Homans
called it "a wide-ranging and hard-headed study of American jobs,
their place and nature." Robert C. Stone said in Social Forces:
"The work is a major contribution to the study of social
structure." The many specialist workers who are concerned with
occupational problems-industrial and applied psychologists,
personnel and guidance workers, wage economists, labor relations
experts, and others-will find this a valuable reference work. It
is, of course, pertinent to the interests of general sociologists
and anthropologists, and is used as a text in a number of courses
in occupational sociology.
