1.	Changes in the Employment Continuity of Succeeding Cohorts of Young Women Work and Occupations 19,1 (February 1992): 18-34. Also: http://wox.sagepub.com/content/19/1/18.abstract Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Employment; Labor Force Participation; Life Cycle Research; Women; Work Attachment; Work Histories Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A study examined employment continuity for three succeeding cohorts of women in their 20s who would be typically experiencing early life-cycle transitions to marriage and parenthood. Using the NLS of Young Women, women's work attachment was analyzed over 5-year periods during the 1970s. Two competing explanations were presented to account for the expected increase in women's employment continuity: (1) An increasing number of women have characteristics traditionally conducive to employment. (2) The employment behavior of those who have typically worked intermittently has increasingly resembled that of women who have typically worked more continuously. The results showed that the impact of behavioral change was far more significant than changes in women's characteristics. Traditional models of labor force participation should be respecified to account for the effects of social change. [ABI/INFORM]

2.	Women's Work Expectations and Labor Market Experience in Early and Middle Family Life-Cycle Stages Journal of Marriage and Family 47,1 (February 1985): 131-142. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/352075 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Family Influences; Labor Force Participation; Life Cycle Research; Occupational Aspirations; Work Attachment Two issues are addressed in this research: the effect of women's work expectations for age 35 on labor market attachment during child rearing years and the extent to which widespread sociodemographic change over the 1970's conditioned the effect of work expectations on the extent of employment. Data from the NLS Young Women's cohort are used in estimating the employment experience of women in the sample. Findings indicate that employment expectations significantly increase the length of women's employment and that some of the effects of sociodemographic change did condition the effect of work life plans.

3.	Differential Effects of Industrial and Worker Resources on Women's Wages Social Science Research 15,1 (March 1986): 1-27. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0049089X86900013 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Occupational Status; Wage Differentials; Wage Effects; Wages, Women; White Collar Jobs; Women Sociological explanations of wage inequality have given increasing attention to resources of industries as wage determinants. The variation in the effects of individual & industrial characteristics (eg, differences in age, race, & occupation) on wage rates is explored. Data are taken from the National Longitudinal Studies of the Labor Market Experiences of Women, in which groups of younger & older women (N = 2,072 & 2,054, respectively) were interviewed periodically over a 12-year interval. Considerable variation in the effects of industrial & worker resources on women's wage rates is evident. It appears, however, that both types of resources must be examined to avoid misspecification of wage determination models.

4.	Expected Versus Actual Work Roles of Women American Sociological Review 49,3 (June 1984): 349-358. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2095279 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Earnings, Wives; Marital Status; Occupational Aspirations; Sex Roles; Women; Work Attachment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The impact of women's long-range work plans for midlife on work behavior at that age was examined for a cohort of 533 women aged 35 in 1980, using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of the Labor Market Experiences of Young Women (first interviewed in 1968). It was hypothesized that work plans would significantly affect actual behavior at midlife &, moreover, would modify the effects of many variables typically associated with women's employment. The findings indicate that plans did influence subsequent behavior, largely reflecting the realization of plans for those who expected to be employed. Further, marital & fertility status considerably influenced the LF behavior only of those who expected to be at home, while employment history affected employment only for those expecting to be employed. These results suggest: (1) demographic & economic change over the 1970s differentially affected this cohort's ability to actualize plans for midlife; & (2) the employment behavior of those who planned to be full-time housewives may be a transitory response to changes in their domestic roles.
