Influence of Fertility Strategies on the Labor Force Status of American Wives Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1972 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Children; Educational Attainment; Family Influences; Fertility; Husbands, Influence; Wages; Wives; Work History This dissertation examines the influence on a married woman's labor force participation of four indicators of her "fertility strategy": (1) her current age; (2) age at time of her first birth; (3) number of children ever born; and (4) age of her youngest child. The author estimates that each additional child is associated with a five percentage point reduction in female labor force participation. If this relationship has held historically, then declining family size since 1900 has accounted for about half of the observed increase in labor force participation rates since the beginning of the century. |
