1.	Dual Careers, Volume 3: A Longitudinal Study of the Labor Market Experience of Women Manpower Research Monograph 21, Volume 3. Washington DC: US GPO, 1975 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Child Care; Children; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Wages This report focuses on two problems which women in the labor force are likely to encounter. The first is the changing occupational distribution of women. Over the past decade concern has arisen regarding both the distribution of women among occupations and the low wages generally associated with those jobs in which most women are employed. Here we examine, for the time span 1967 to 1972, the extent to which women left (or entered) occupations which society views as "acceptable" for them. Also discussed is the relationship between type of occupation and selected socioeconomic variables; the impact of occupational change on wage rates is of particular importance. The second problem is the changing demand for child care facilities. This deals with arrangements made by women in the labor force during 1971 who had at least one child under 18 years of age. The analysis relates both demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of these women to the various forms of child care which they used. Also examined is the need for public and private forms of child care among women with different family, economic, and labor force characteristics. Changes which occurred between 1965 and 1971 in the utilization of different types of child care arrangements are discussed.

Hypothetical Labor Market Response of Black and White Women to a National Program of Free Day Care Centers Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1977 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Child Care; Children; Family Background and Culture; Work Attitudes Free day care centers would be utilized more by black than white women (with preschool children) and would dramatically increase labor market activities of blacks, while only slightly affecting the labor supply of white women. This difference is attributable to black women's more favorable orientation toward work outside the home.

Prospective Fertility Among Young Women in the United States: The Determinants of Fertility Expectations and Ideals Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1975 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Black Family; Family Size; Fertility; Marital Status; Sex Roles; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Work Attitudes; Work Experience Findings from this study which utilizes data from the NLS of Young Women show that: (1) previous work experience and future work plans are negatively related to expected and ideal family size; (2) parental SES is negatively related to expected family size and ideal family size, although parental SES is a more important determinant of ideal family size than expected family size; (3) women who have had at least one child have significantly lower expected and ideal family sizes as compared to women who have not had children; (4) even though having ever been married results in a lower ideal family size, it does not have a significant impact on expected family size; (5) the more proscriptive a woman's attitude toward working women with children, the higher the ideal family size; (6) as measured by educational attainment, a woman with higher social status aspirations has a lower expected family size; and finally, (7) blacks' ideal family size is significantly higher than their white counterparts'.

5.	Changes in Child Care Arrangements of Working Women: 1965-1971 Presented: American Statistical Association, Business and Economic Statistics Section, 1975 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: American Statistical Association Keyword(s): Child Care; Mothers; Transportation Child care arrangements of working mothers in l965 and l97l are compared in order to test hypotheses about the effects of demographic and economic changes on those arrangements. The results show an increased use of day care centers and family day care homes, which may be attributed to federally funded programs. Additional care by fathers and siblings was also observed. However, the following arrangements were significantly reduced: care after school by the mother, care by the mother at work, care in a relative's home, and care in the child's home by a nonrelative. It appears that the further a woman must travel to work, the less likely she is to care for her children.
