Analysis of the Effects of Varying Male and Female Force Levels. Annex 1. Volume 1. A Model to Simulate the Expected Mix of Men and Women for Air Force Enlistment

摘要

This report specifies a person-job assignment model simulating a nationally representative Air Force specialty (AFS) assignment process for male and female 18 to 23 years olds in the national manpower pool qualified and willing to serve in the Air Force. The model has a robust capability to forecast results by AFS given variations in any major element of either Air Force accession requirements, or the characteristics of the available supply of qualified men and women. The report contains several tables by AFSC. In general, each of the results indicate a higher net qualification/willingness-to-enlist rate for males than for females. A higher percentage of males meet Air Force basic mental/education requirements. Males tend to score higher on the Mechanical, Electronic and General composites. Females outscore males on the Administrative composite. A higher percent (approximately 10%) of males are able to pass the minimum medical requirements. Increased 'X' factor physical requirements decrease female qualification. Males, at present, are almost two and one half times as willing to enlist than females.
