Abstract
A study of desired occupational change among a sample of American working women showed that the average level of desired occupational change was high (51 per cent). 'Male' occupations, in general, had a higher desired inflow, lower desired outflow, and higher percentage of stayers than 'female' occupations. If desired occupational choices were fulfilled, the resulting occupational distribution would be radically different than at present, with significantly more wonten in 'male' occupations. Desired individual occupational change was found to be positively related to education, and negatively related to current salary, marriage, time out of the labour force, labour market experience, and current occtrpation.
