3. Equilibrium discrimination and crowding. Suppose there are two occupations: doctors and nurses.
a) Draw hypothetical supply and demand graphs for male and female workers to both occupations assuming that some of each prefers each job. Now, assume that managers assume that women are unqualified to be doctors so all women find work as nurses. Show the effects of discrimination on your graph.
b) Who benefits and who loses from this discrimination? Show the effect of discrimination on wages and employment in both occupations and on total output in each. (Hint: have one graph for doctors and a separate one for nurses.)
c) In a situation with gender-based discrimination, why do women and men marry and why do wives do more home production and child-rearing while husbands do more market work? If discrimination is ended, would you expect this gender-based intrafamily division of labor would persist? Do you think that there would be less heterosexual marriage?
