摘要
在20世纪60年代末,美国经济协会(AEA)开始通过出版《经济学家职位空缺》(Job opening for Economists)来解决经济学中被边缘化群体的担忧。在当时大规模妇女解放运动的推动下,女性经济学家在美国经济学会内部成立了一个委员会,以争取平等的机会和更多的就业机会。该委员会早期的工作重点是改革劳动力市场,其中一项关键活动是创建一份职位空缺出版物。出版职位空缺出版物的结果是开辟了一条途径,使新训练的妇女经济学家认识到机会,并逐渐减少对现有非正式雇用制度的依赖。女性经济学家在职位空缺出版物的建立、合法化和广泛接受方面发挥了重要作用,这有助于进一步赋予妇女和其他边缘化经济学家权力。妇女通过改革寻找就业机会的做法,追求经济领域的平等机会。公布的空缺通过使劳动力市场的各个方面正式化,使妇女在劳动力市场中有了更大的代表性。公布职位空缺只是为妇女创造包容环境的第一步。并不是所有的边缘群体都看到劳动力市场改革为他们在经济学中被接受铺平了道路。
Empowering Women Economists at the American Economic Association Through the Development of the Publication Job Openings for Economists
ABSTRACT In the late 1960s, the American Economic Association (AEA) began to address the concerns of the marginalized in the profession with the publication of Job Openings for Economists. Women economists, empowered by the mass women's liberation movement at the time, formed a committee within the AEA to press for equal opportunity and greater access to the job market. This committee focused their early efforts on reforming the labor market with one of the key activities being the creation of a job vacancy publication. The consequence of having a job vacancy publication was the establishment of a path whereby newly trained women economists were made aware of opportunities and the existing informal hiring system was gradually relied upon less. Women economists played an important role in the establishment, legitimization, and broader acceptance of a job vacancy publication that helped to further empower women and other marginalized economists. HIGHLIGHTS Women pursued equal opportunity in economics via reforms to employment-search practices. Published vacancies achieved a greater representation of women in the labor market by formalizing aspects of the labor market. The publication of job vacancies was only a first step to creating an inclusive environment for women. Not all marginalized groups saw their path to acceptance within economics paved by labor market reform.
