abstract: 'Low-income women''s rates of employment have grown dramatically in recent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
years, yet the stability and quality of their employment remain low.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using panel data from the Three-City Study following 1,586 low-income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
African American, Latina, and European American women, this study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assessed associations between women''s employment quality (wages; receipt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of health insurance) and stability (work consistency; job transitions)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and their financial, personal, and family well-being. Hierarchical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
linear models assessing within-person effects found that increases in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wages were associated with improved financial well-being and physical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health. Average wages over time similarly were associated with greater
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
levels of income and financial stability as well as mental and physical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health at the end of the study. In contrast, few significant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associations emerged for receipt of health insurance or for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stability and consistency of women''s employment. Results have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implications for programs and policies seeking to support disadvantaged
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women''s employment in order to improve family resources and functioning.'
