Raw Normal View History

abstract: 'The authors investigate the accuracy of young women''s retrospective
reporting on their first substantial employment in three major,
nationally representative U.S. surveys, examining hypotheses that longer
recall duration, employment histories with lower salience and higher
complexity, and an absence of ``anchoring{''''} biographical details will
adversely affect reporting accuracy. The authors compare retrospective
reports to benchmark panel survey estimates for the same cohorts.
Sociodemographic groups-notably non-Hispanic white women and women with
college-educated mothers-whose early employment histories at these ages
are in aggregate more complex (multiple jobs) and lower in salience
(more part-time jobs) are more likely to omit the occurrence of their
first substantial job or employment and to misreport their first job or
employment as occurring at an older age. Also, retrospective reports are
skewed toward overreporting longer, therefore more salient, later jobs
over shorter, earlier jobs. The relatively small magnitudes of
differences, however, indicate that the retrospective questions
nevertheless capture these summary indicators of first substantial
employment reasonably accurately. Moreover, these differences are
especially small for groups of women who are more likely to experience
labor-market disadvantage and for women with early births.'
