Research Abstract:
|
Philip N. Cohen teaches in the areas of Social Inequality, Sociological Theory, and Demography. His research concerns two broad areas, both related to social inequality and including methodological and substantive components. The first involves the relationship between family structure and inequality within and between families -- over time and across various social contexts. Projects in this area have examined, for example, the relationship between cohabitation, earnings, and the division of household labor; and the role of family structure in facilitating or impeding women's employment. The second area involves micro-macro linkages in social inequality, including the effects of labor market racial/ethnic composition on inequality by race and gender, and the determinants of inequality within and between jobs across labor markets
