The Status of Gender Integration in the Military. Analysis of Selected Occupations

For most of their history in the U.S. military services, women have faced stringent limits on where they could serve, what they could do, and what units they could join. This has changed over the last decade. But has opening new skills and units to women been enough? Do barriers remain that bar women even from some formally open occupations? The authors broadly assessed female representation in newly open occupations, then examined ten specific occupations in detail. Success has been mixed, in part because of the circumstances of individual occupations. For example, accession and assignment limitations have a more significant influence on representation than the nature of the work itself or women's success relative to men in training. In fact, some things--such as retention and choice of aircraft--are issues for men as well as women. Moreover, some of the early successes could be subject to the pioneer effect. Among the authors' recommendations is that female representation needs to be analyzed and understood by occupation.

  • "RAND's National Defense Research Institute (NDRI) was asked to assess the degree to which women are represented in the military occupations open to them and to determine whether there are factors that inappropriately hinder or preclude women's opportunities to work within their military specialties. Specifically, this work addresses whether women and men are receiving equal opportunities to work in selected occupations. Second, this analysis considers whether the number of women who can enter the selected occupations is limited, despite the occupation being open to women. This research included statistical analysis of all military occupations and detailed analysis of selected occupations. The statistical analysis is summarized herein but is published in more detail in a companion volume."@en
