Resume of
project:
This
project will illustrate the degree of inclusion versus exclusion of
women, ethnic minorities and senior employees in Norwegian work life.
It will be shown how this occurs at the firm and occupational levels
through a broad mapping of recruitment, allocation of occupations, segregation
of occupations, wage placement, promotions in pay and position, including
promotions to top-level positions at a high echelon, and finally exit
from firms. The period of this study is from 1980 to 1997.
