abstract: 'Objective. The purpose of this research is to examine how various
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
factors influence the labor supply of married women at different stages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the life cycle. Methods. Using data from the 1992-94 National Survey
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of Families and Households, multinomial legit models of full-time
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment, part-time employment, and nonparticipation in the labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
force are estimated separately for various stages, depending on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
presence and ages of children. Results. The effects of the husband''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings and the wife''s own wage on her employment decisions vary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
considerably across the life cycle stages and are highly nonlinear.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Significantly, among women who have preschoolers, an increase in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage rate raises the odds of part-time employment as opposed to either
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the two extremes, full-time work or nonparticipation. Two variables
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that have received little attention in previous research are found to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important and worthy of further investigation: religion and the presence
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of stepchildren in the household. Conclusions. The determinants of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
married women''s labor supply behavior vary across the life cycle stages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and include factors beyond those considered in conventional models of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
female employment.'
