abstract: 'We investigate the determinants of employment transitions with samples

  from white, black, and Hispanic women in the National Longitudinal

  Survey of Youth. We argue that one needs to take into consideration both

  family- and job-related factors to explain women''s work patterns and

  that the ways employment and home context combine to influence

  transitions may vary by race and ethnicity. We find African-American

  women, followed by Latinas, leave the work force more quickly than white

  women. These differences are due more to levels of job-related variables

  than to distributions of family characteristics across race/ethnic

  groups. On the other hand, only when we control for job-related

  variables do we see that African Americans, followed by Hispanic women,

  return to paid work faster than whites, suggesting that these women

  reenter employment faster than would be expected given their lower

  levels of previous job rewards and resources. Separate models of exits

  and returns by race and ethnicity show somewhat different patterns of

  family effects across groups, while varying effects of wages and

  occupational variables indicate different degrees and types of labor

  market disadvantage for blacks and Latinas. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science
