This research is concerned with describing and accounting for changes in the social compositon of occupations. It uses a model based on an ecological theory of competition. Niche overlap--shared sociodemographic characteristics among occupations--is expected to create competitive pressures that lead to changes in an occupation's basic niche. The model is tested using data from the Current Population Survey Annual Demographic Files. %%% This research will contribute to sociological understanding of why occupations vary in composition according to age, gender, race, and similar characteristics and why occupations change their compositon over time. This information should be of help to policy makers concerned with efforts to encourage occupational diversity. In addition to the scientific gains to be achieved by the research, this award will materially assist a highly promising student in completing research for the Ph.D. dissertation. Thus it contributes to the future scientific manpower of the nation and the thorough training of the next generation of social scientists.

这项研究涉及描述和考虑职业社会综合的变化。 它使用基于竞争生态理论的模型。 利基市场重叠 - 共享的社会人口统计学特征 - 预计会产生竞争压力，从而导致职业基本利基市场的变化。 使用当前人口调查年度人口统计文件的数据对该模型进行测试。 %% %%这项研究将有助于社会学理解为什么职业根据年龄，性别，种族和类似特征的成分各不相同，以及为什么职业会随着时间的流逝而改变其复杂性。 这些信息应该有助于与鼓励职业多样性的努力有关的政策制定者。 除了研究要实现的科学收益外，该奖项还将有助于一位备受希望的学生完成博士学位的研究。论文。 因此，它有助于国家的未来科学人力以及对下一代社会科学家的彻底培训。 这项研究涉及描述和考虑职业社会综合的变化。 它使用基于竞争生态理论的模型。 利基市场重叠 - 共享的社会人口统计学特征 - 预计会产生竞争压力，从而导致职业基本利基市场的变化。 使用当前人口调查年度人口统计文件的数据对该模型进行测试。 %% %%这项研究将有助于社会学理解为什么职业根据年龄，性别，种族和类似特征的成分各不相同，以及为什么职业会随着时间的流逝而改变其复杂性。 这些信息应该有助于与鼓励职业多样性的努力有关的政策制定者。 除了研究要实现的科学收益外，该奖项还将有助于一位备受希望的学生完成博士学位的研究。论文。 因此，它有助于国家的未来科学人力以及对下一代社会科学家的彻底培训。
