abstract = {For many years the NHS has been subject to allegations that gender and racial
discrimination are a feature of the internal labour market for qualified nurses. This paper
examines this issue with regard to the promotion process using 1994 survey data. We start
by rejecting the assumption of covariate exogeneity inherent in the ordered probit model. A
full simultaneous model is then developed which has important consequences for estimates
of the influence of gender, ethnicity, training and career interruptions. We find evidence of
significant differences in speed of promotion between gender and ethnic groups, which imply
large differences in career earnings.},
