Religion Work and Inequality
Work behaviours and inequality in work-based rewards are essential to financial security and general well-being. Although the benefits of receiving work-based rewards, such as income, benefits and retirement packages, are significant, they are not enjoyed uniformly. This title articulates an agenda for better understanding these social processes.
Religious Preference and Worldly Success: Some Evidence from National Surveys
In the mid-1940's Protestants ranked well above Catholics in income, occupation, and education, but by the mid-1960's Catholics ranked above Protestants in most aspects of status. The most important remaining Protestant advantage was that a larger percentage of Protestants had at least some college training, but even this difference had disappeared among the youngest adults. The more rapid advancement of Catholics is attributed largely to a more favorable distribution by region and community size. A differential effect of religious influences is not needed to explain any of the data presented.
