Data are presented regarding the influence of gender and age on employment status and on the relationship between employment status and psycho-social well-being, including work and general satisfaction, self-esteem, mood, health and overall adaptation, at both stages. The dynamics of occupational integration are investigated by looking at the effects of occupational stability vs occupational change between stage 2 and stage 3 on the psycho-social outcome variables. After three years in Israel. men were more likely to be working as physicians than women, and women were more likely to be unemployed. However, after five years. women were equally likely to have found work in their profession, albeit in lower status positions. Younger respondents were more successful than older respondents in passing the licensure examination, finding work in their profession, and entering residency programs. The gap between them did not close between stage 2 and stage 3. (...)
