Socio-economic achievement in Australian and Japanese segmented economies

Occupational prestige and earnings, together with 'over-' or 'underreward' in these respects relative to sociodemographic characteristics of the workforce, are used to aggregate Australian and Japanese industries into 2 economic sectors. Analyses the industrial structure of the sectors and the detailed socioeconomic achievement patterns in different sectors. Social services constitute the core of the first sector; however, this also contains most modern manufacturing industries in Japan, and agriculture in Australia. (Abstract amended)
