Abstract
Analyzing survey data collected from a sample of NE residents in 1989, supplemented with census data on the sex composition of respondents' occupations, explored are the effects of occupational sex composition on the sex composition of respondents' voluntary association memberships. While overall, a positive relationship is found, the effects differ for women & men & for those working in sex-atypical vs typical occupations. Findings contribute to a growing literature on the connections between work & volunteering & provide a more complete picture of the ways that sex differentiation structures women's & men's lives.
