Prior research has investigated how STEM career aspirations are formed, and how experiences in STEM workplaces influence retention in a STEM career. This study uses a unique longitudinal dataset that surveyed graduating chemistry and chemical engineering majors at two prestigious universities in the United States, following up with those graduates four years later. This data allows us to observe processes that create intentions to remain in STEM while still in school, along with actual retention in the STEM workforce four years after graduation. Results indicate that while intentions to remain in STEM help predict actual retention, they do so primarily by increasing the likelihood STEM graduates’ first job will be in a STEM field. While we saw little gender or race differences in early retention, we did find evidence that those whose first job was not in STEM and those changing jobs more frequently were less likely to be retained in the STEM labor force. Moreover, those who never worked in the STEM sector or left a STEM job in their early career earned more money on average four years after graduation than those who were retained in STEM jobs. This suggests STEM graduates are finding their skills can command higher earnings over time in non-STEM employment sectors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 103161"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143631833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study tests if this strategic adaptation framework applies to children of immigrants across race/ethnicity. Using postsecondary transcript data (2017–2018) from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS), the analysis models the relationship between race/ethnicity and nativity with STEM credits completed among college attenders. The children of White, Black, and Asian American immigrants complete more STEM credits than later generation—children of US-born—White respondents. Later generation Black, Hispanic, and multiracial respondents complete less STEM credits than their White peers. A subsample analysis finds that these patterns are partially accounted for by adolescent beliefs that mathematics and science courses are important for their careers. However, we find no immigrant advantage in grade point average (GPA) in STEM courses relative to later generation White respondents. Rather, Black respondents—across generation—average slightly lower GPAs. These results suggest that the pursuit of STEM education is—in part—a pragmatic mobility strategy for the children of immigrants.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 103157"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143534429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from the India Human Development Survey, this study examines the relationship between mothers' empowerment and adolescent children's gender beliefs in India. Recognizing the multidimensionality of women's empowerment, we conduct latent class analysis to identify a six-class empowerment typology based on mothers' education, employment, decision-making power at home, mobility outside the home, and memberships in women's organizations. The results reveal unevenness in different dimensions of mothers' empowerment. Maternal empowerment's association with egalitarian gender beliefs is salient among adolescent girls, but not boys. Adolescent girls with mothers labeled as proactive workers in our empowerment typology hold the most egalitarian gender beliefs, whereas low agency and underprivileged worker mothers' daughters are the least egalitarian. By illustrating the complex interplay between multiple dimensions of maternal empowerment and children's gender beliefs in India, this study advances the empirical and theoretical understanding of women's empowerment and the effects of mothers' behaviors on children's gender beliefs.</p>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"127 ","pages":"103132"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143630875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that intensive parenting activities and full-time employment strongly predict more positive self-evaluations for mothers and fathers, reflecting gender symmetry in core cultural expectations of parents. However, earnings, homeownership, and overwork positively predict self-evaluations for fathers only, and mothers evaluate themselves more negatively than fathers at the same level of involvement and financial provision. Finally, intensive parenting activities similarly positively predict self-evaluations for more- and less-educated parents.

However, this expectation hinges on the actual utilization of FWAs by both genders in response to family needs. Drawing on longitudinal dyadic data from the UK (2010–2022), this study examines the disparities in the use of FWAs among couples by gender, parenthood, and occupation. We find that wives' use of all types of FWAs significantly increases after parenthood, whereas husbands' use remains unchanged. Moreover, mothers' use of FWAs varies by occupation and the type of FWAs. While traditional FWAs (e.g., reduced hours arrangements) are widely used by mothers regardless of their occupations, mothers from professional occupations are more likely to use novel FWAs (e.g., flexible schedule and teleworking arrangements) than those from non-professional occupations. The workplace gender inequalities are thus likely to continue in the FWA era, albeit in more subtle and nuanced forms that vary according to the types of FWAs and occupations involved.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"127 ","pages":"Article 103144"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143419888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
