CV: Curriculum Vita
Ross Stolzenberg's research has always focused on the development and testing of social stratification theory, at aggregate and individual levels of analysis. This central interest has led him to a wide range of secondary, but strong subsidiary interests in statistical methods, research design, employment, organizations, demography, employment, health and the family. But those interests all derive from his attempt to understand the process of stratification in industrialized societies.
Stolzenberg's primary current research is a set of efforts to understand and measure the effect of husbands' and wives' paid and unpaid work on their own and each other's health.
