Religious Roots and Consequences of Women's Work-Family Configurations in Adulthood Presented: Denver CO, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Family Formation; Family Models; Religion Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This project contributes a more comprehensive understanding of the reciprocal relationships between religion, work, and family. Using NLSY79 data, I uncover six work-family configurations for American women using LCA; timing of family experiences and education are key in differentiating these configurations. I integrate these configurations into a model of religious involvement, using adolescent religiosity to predict work-family configurations and then predicting service attendance in adulthood with the configurations. I find evidence for a link between affiliation with an evangelical religious tradition in adolescence and early family formation. Additionally, there is a strong link between religious service attendance and one particular group of women: married, college-educated women with children. Their adolescent and adult religious participation suggest that the positive effects of religion, such as social and financial support, are concentrated within this privileged group of women. This project also demonstrates the importance of considering religion when studying work and family pathways. |
